37. I got that as a download
and I can't figure out how to make it a link. If you want it PM me your e mail and I would be happy to send it to you. It is particularly nice isn't it? Like an acid trip.

8. Yes, it's really my desktop.
I don't have any icons on my desktop (all on quick launch) and I have the task bar on auto hide.

13. The Moon Prometeus


Put on my desktop after my father's death last December. I referred to this shepherd moon in his eulogy. He shaped the lives around him like this one small moon helps shapes the giant rings of Saturn.

17. Mine changes every 4 hours
I use pix from my Webshots albums. Plus some Toronto Maple Leaf & Kurt Busch wallpapers that I made, but those aren't in my albums, just on the wallpaper section.
