Wonderful Apple wallpapers to wet your whistle
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.

My randomly changing desktops were starting to get stale - thanks! And yes, I'm a pedant, but we don't put "wallpaper" on our desktops on the Mac world.

Can anyone upload a zip package of all 60 wallpapers? Would be fantastic!

+1! I would really like all 60 as well, but I might as well just click on all 60 to download individually! Sigh...

I've downloaded them, but many come with read mes and I don't want to get into trouble with intellectual property rights or anything like that :p, sorry

Sorry to be a stickler, but it's "whet," not "wet."

Actually, you whet your appetite but you wet your whistle.

What's with all these images being in low resolution? What a shame. A lot of them looks great.

If you click through, you'll find the higher resolutions. Mine all look great!

Most of them are 1024x768 or something along those lines. I need at least 1440x900 for my MBP!

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.
