My dog that I lost two weeks ago. Not that it's about losing him as he was always my desktop and phone pic.
Solid grey or dark green colour. Because pictures are distracting when I'm working in photoshop and I am almost 40.
Work one is almost always a picture from a family holiday or one taken while out on the bike.
Reminders of one of the best reasons for working so hard. To go on great trips and see awesome places.
Home one is almost always a picture of the kids.
In memoriam

I took this at a Big Cat shoot thing through Wild Arena in 2011.
I keep meaning to set-up a folder of pics for my laptop to scroll through but never get round to it.
Dunno why I chose this particular pic, I just like it.

I only have a neutral grey desktop on my Mac Mini, but it’s seldom used for anything other than iTunes stuff, so it’s irrelevant.
My Pad and phone both have a photo I took at sunset a couple of years or so ago in Biddestone, a local village wher the Agatha Rasin TV series was filmed, and which has no street lights, I got a nice photo with both Saturn and Jupiter in frame with the houses nicely silhouetted against the sky.
Still haven’t worked out how to post photos on here from iOS, so you’ll just have to imagine it.
Lake Louise, Alberta. Because I was there and i’ve yet to take a nicer landscape

Mint Sauce version of the old Windows front page.
It calms me. 🙂
Standard mate desktop covered in files.
I setup a desktop with a pic of my bike in 1995, I patted
myself on the back for finding the desktop config files and editing it.
Then I covered it in files.
^^That’s Kim Gordon. It’s a great photo and fits my wistful nostalgic moods.
on my phone I have pictures of my mum; one from ‘53 before she was married and one as a wee girl on a bike. Because I miss her.
Cos...
It appears john_drummer has hacked my laptop and nicked my Lake Louise picture! 😱
At home - because i like the colours, also my backdrop on my phone

Just a carbon fibre texture as I generally only see my desktop when I start the pc up.

Because it was an amazing view and a fantastic field trip.
Mrs Nobeer
cause she's nice to look at.
On my phone, nice pic of DezbJr taken at the DH park. Cos it's a cool pic of me kid
(Yes, I have a few unread emails!)
Pinkbike photo of the year winner, because I like it and I can't take a photie of my own for shite.
picture i took of Luca Shaw bottomming out his V10 29er at Lourdes last year. On there cos it's prob the best action shot of a bike i've taken - he's flat out, but the detail on his bike and kit is pretty darn crisp.

Just because it's so cool.
I have 4 desktops/spaces cause I am greedy. No major reason, just like them.
If anyone knows where either of the bottom two are then feel free to let me know.
My desktop is generally a pic of me/wife/family so I'll not be sharing that.
My long-on screen (at home and at work) is a rather special place in the Marlborough Sounds.
If anyone knows where either of the bottom two are then feel free to let me know.
First one is Hallstatt in Austria. Been there and it’s as nice as it looks in your picture.
Second one is Reine in Norway. Not been there. But I want to now!
As it captures what I love about skiing
Mine is a close crop pic of my gundog retrieving a partridge through some stunted maize. She's airborne, jumping into the frame from the left, ears back, shoulder and chest muscles showing, with the Partridge in perfect focus . It's a fantastic pic, but not everyone wants to see it so you'll have to settle for a description .
As it captures what I love about skiing
Thats an awesome picture 👍
Can almost feel and hear it all happening !
Solid blue and several Rainmeter skins giving me system info and a feed from garden weather station.
Whatever W10 throws up, I don't really take pictures and there are some corkers out there taken by other folk
I still maintain that the Chromecast default picture scroll is the best thing on telly
Kelly Brook.
I'm sure I don't need to explain.
Kelly Brook.
Is it from her days modelling for MBR
Always planning the next trip.
On this machine, I'm very boring, just a dark neutral grey, because if I'm working/doing something I can't see the desktop, and if I'm not then I'm not looking at the screen...
If I need inspiring I have numerous folders/galleries to look through
Lol @ Perchy 😂
choppersquad
Kelly Brook.
I’m sure I don’t need to explain.
Not to me, he was awesome against Rabchenko the other night!

whatever shit the computer puts there
on my phone I have the old test card pic with the little girl/chalkboard and clown doll - reminds me of a simpler time when I didn't have to deal with the shit I do know
a fire engine red Jaguar I-Pace...because I work for them and they have installed it 🙂
Same as before my desktop is a collage of family photos so won't be sharing but login is this taken on a night ride a couple weeks ago:

Truth
I've never much bothered. Historically I've always disabled desktop wallpapers as due to the way previous versions of Windows used to draw the screen it was a massive performance hit. In Vista days I had some swirly colours that I liked, rather than a a "photo" exactly (I might see if I still have it). I currently have the default Windows 10 backdrop, I'll probably change it at some point when I can be arsed. My work laptop has a solid colour (it should be a policy-enforced corporate backdrop but I found it to be too bright and distracting so I deleted it and then removed my own permissions to the directory so that it couldn't be forced back on the next time I logged in).
I use the desktop as a dumping ground for things that I'm currently working on or that I need to do something with at some point. That's about a third of the screen covered in icons on my home machine and probably over two thirds at work. What's the point of having a workspace that you're not using?
I have a folder that I throw stuff into that I like - mostly Pinkbike photo epic type stuff, etc.

You have a new desktop wallpaper every minute? Wow, that'd drive me round the bend.
New work desktop to remind me of a nice day a couple of weeks back before the snow.

Change them quite regularly, current one is this.
Me and the wee man to remind me that there is a life outside of a midlands industrial estate.
I used to be a solid colour kind of guy, but I changed to some pictures of the Aurora I took last year when on my mum's bucket list trip with my brother.
I was going to get rid of them, but she died about a month ago so they can stay for a bit longer - reminding me of good times.
The perfect gravel bike from when all bikes were gravel bikes.
1893 Rudge. It's the inspiration for my latest project. 🙂
Can you see what I find interesting on it?
Looks like a folding bike?
Weirdest headtube ever. Plus SS. Love it.
Desktop - black solid colour. Populated by billions of files and icons. Phone - photo of Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks (fire walk with me). Cos I love Twin Peaks. And I fancy Laura Palmer.

Weirdest headtube ever. Plus SS. Love it.
Got it in one. 🙂
There's no head tube at all.
He is a nice guy.
So elegant.
A mate had a Rudge Ulster motorbike in the early 70s.
He could buy all of your houses now if he still had it.
i did once value all the motorbikes I owned in the early 70s. I nearly called the Samaritans.
i now own this bit of SS niceness with the best EBB I've tried yet.
