I took this picture in Iceland of the black sand beach and with the grey skies, it turned out almost like a black and white photo. Makes for a nice background.

That's an awesome picture! I'd love to go to Iceland one day. Are the beaches too cold to swim?
To be honest, we really didn't mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.
We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.
I was bored on the flight back from Prague and ran this picture I took through some filters. It's pretty vibe-ish. imgur link
That's a great a photo! What app did you use for the filters?
Thanks! & Sorry for the late response, but I used Samsung photo magic erase to get rid of some people and tour boats, as well as add a "cut out" style filter. Then I used Pixlr to boost the reds and other color curves.
I use default wallpapers, I love how much they define the feel of whatever system I'm using. They also end up causing a lot of nostalgia.
Right now I’m using this as my lock screen and this as my background on my tablet.
I always use Ghibli landscape images on all my devices, and rotate through them frequently. I pull from a few Imgur galleries: this one for my phone and tablet, and this one for my laptop dual screen setups.
Lol, I use the same pics in your link for my dual screens at work, and set then too rotate. So far no one appears to have any idea what Studio Ghibli is; they just think it's random pretty landscapes.
Only one colleague has ever directly asked me if it was a Ghibli background - and she’s a very cool chick!
I actually have a rotating slideshow, and the theme is "fancy aesthetics". What the pictures actually are can be anything from art (digital paintings, anime, furry art, whatever), to photos (whether they be from fashion catalogues or screenshots from movies or whatever). As long as I consider the aesthetics sufficiently fancy.
Here's what was on monitor 1 at the time of screenshotting, and here is monitor 2.
I set it as a "tiled " wallpaper, so no need to make it actually match my screen resolution. I like it simple!
I tend have my computer switch between different CGI abstract or spacescape images.

OMG the memories! 😭 Inuyasha, Ranma, all of CLAMP, and Fushigi Yuugi were my favorites growing up.
I love Ranma 1/2 and Fushigi Yuugi! I haven't watched/read much Clamp. I did read a little CCS when I was little :)
SO GOOD!!
