I looked, I swear. I know we've done this in the past but if we've currently got one of these, I couldn't find it.
I'm currently using this both at home and at work:

It's from the new MTG set. I pulled 2 of the actual cards at the pre release this past weekend. Really liked the look of it when it was first spoiled.

Well my desktop, laptop and UMPC all have windows 7 so they have a bunch of anime wallpapers it's rotates between, but here's the wallpaper I use on my work PC since that's a static wallpaper.

I haven't used a static wallpaper in a few years. I use the rotating wallpaper option of Windows 7, and I generally do them in themes. Currently I have 77 pictures in rotation that are all sailing ships from the 17th and 18th centuries. Prior to that I had 76 pictures that were all dragons, either taken from book covers, stand-alone art, D&D artwork from books, etc.

Here are some pictures from each.

A really nice site with a megaload of wallpapers is desktopnexus.com.

I've been using this one for a few years now--my oldest at the controls of an MC-130P Combat Shadow. I just like it too much and I can pretend that I intended the cool reflection off his sunglasses. I do wish the resolution of the camera on my phone had been better.

Same one I've used for a very long time now... and I still love it very much. One of my favorite photographs that aren't of the "whoa that's cool!" variety that wouldn't stand the test of time once the novelty wears off.

I usually pick something pretty, either a picture I've taken, or something from the National Geographic pic of the day. Right now I have this up on my home machine:

I use two. The first one I've had for years, had it posted on the Penny Arcade forums. I love it because its so clean and simple and a cool setting in my mind.

The second is a photo given to me by the lovely Kirra. She had actually sent me a different photo of the ferris wheel that she took that I really enjoyed and asked for the original for the background on my laptop. She sent me this one and I just love it. The contrast is wonderful and its so neat because if you look closely there is a lot going on that spans a large timeline (such as you can see a construction crane, but also a church spire and old school lamps), sort of giving it a "day in the life of a Parisian", but at the same time there is only one person in the field and not much in the foreground so the photo has a real clean feel to it. But by far the coolest part is the highlights on the lamps. To be honest I didn't catch that when she first sent it to me, but it was a nice surprise when I saw them! As you can see by this photograph, and the Irish one above this, she is an excellent photographer!

Linking rather than posting because there's a lot of good options there to improve or add to a rotation.

Just liked that wallpaper. Only flavor of Linux I've used so far is Mandrake.
