Wonderful Apple wallpapers to wet your whistle

by Aron Trimble Feb 6th 2009 at 4:15PM

Whether you've got a new Mac and you're looking to replace the tired "Aurora" background, or perhaps you just want to spice up your desktop with something a little Apple-flavored, this site's for you! Francesco Mugnai has up at his blog over 60 different Apple-focused wallpapers that he has found at various and sundry locales from around the web.

Many of the wallpapers are from DeviantArt and Flickr, so if you have spent any length of time perusing Apple wallpapers from either site, then you have likely run into a couple of them. Some of these I have seen a few times before and some of these are a new take on an old favorite; but many are completely new to me. In other words they are all worth checking out and possibly adding in to the desktop wallpaper rotation.

What about you, dear friends? Do you have any stand-out, Apple-related desktop imagery that you've created or found which you would like to share with others? Post some link love in the comments and pay it forward; after all, everyone loves finding new Apple stuff! My personal favorite, you ask? I suppose you will have to click through to find out.

In case you are wondering, I chose this as my favorite because it reminds of working at an actual wooden desk while also inspiring me to be more creative.

I made this to show Leopard physical wave pattern copy protection!

Got it published at Macworld.se and a few Norwegian sites picked up the story.

Been using it since then:

My album with backgrounds I have made. More are being uploaded currently. Please read the captions for the correct resolution. I originally made these for my MacBook, so the bigger resolutions may not look as good.

Does anyone know where you can get the Desktop Picture that is shown on the New 17 inch MBP on Apple.com's Homepage, It looks like its in Aperture and its a picture of a surfer in front of a very Big Wave.
