When it comes to beauty nothing can beat the beauty of nature.
Although we, designers, can derive inspiration from almost everything,
nature often manages to provide us with beautiful eye-catching
perspectives we would never have explored otherwise. We have collected
hundreds of wallpapers already (see links below). In this post we would
like to focus on wallpapers which emphasize the variety and beauty of
nature.
This post showcases 50 remarkable nature desktop wallpapers.
This post covers various themes and subjects; we have included both
photographic and artistic (photo-manipulated) wallpapers. Hopefully,
everybody will find something from himself / herself.

him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with
Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press.
" Brunschwiler and other IBM researchers piped water into cooling
structures as thin as a human hair (50 microns) between the individual
chip layers to remove heat efficiently at the source. The 3-D chip
stacks would have an aggregated heat dissipation of close to 1 kilowatt
-- 10 times greater than the heat generated by a hot plate -- with an
area of 4 square centimeters and a thickness of about 1 millimeter."
