What's Your Desktop Background?

[economy]

Take a screenshot of your desktop and post it here!
If you're feeling kind, include your wallpaper separately too.

I have a rotating series of backgrounds on the same general theme. Here's one of them:

my work computer
it and the home one pretty much always display either astro or storm images
This one is the bubble nebulaDave

It's a wallpaper from the game "Darkest Dungeon"

Have to double this one up because the original is ~square. It's a giant solar flare. In just the 2D area enclosed by the flare, you could fit 100 Earths.

Riding bikes along the Alameda Creek Trail headed for Niles Canyon (back when the hills were green)...

I used to decorate my desktop with colorful wallpapers but after leaving college I have always been using a solid black color, even for the computers at work.

@DrClaude -- Yikes! What year would that correspond to?

2001-02. You can find the details here: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a002400/a002487/

Edit: I found another link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=2657
It specifies that this was in February 2002.

It doesn't say here, but I remember that the oceans and Great Lakes were kept blue in the picture even if they were covered with ice.
