Amazing list…gonna download it all!!
Nice pics, but 800×600 is NOT high resolution!
You can find 1280 x 1024, not just the 800 x 600
Some great photos, inspires me to continue learning and producing photographs, but these people were blessed with great locations!
Awe inspiring shots!
I miss 1680×1050…
The timing on Dune Dancer is amazing! Chicago City Lights is my favorite hands down (then again I’m from Chicago)!
WOW realy great pics
every next picture is better then the previous
These are absolutely breathtaking! You have found some really great pictures here, I have to give you credit for such an amazing post. Keep up the awesome work dude, I love it
Great photo’s but very low resolution… Next time try 1920×1080 to 2560×1600
I like no. 40 – Chicago Lights. The reason is it shows how large the area is and there are prophecies of a psunami from earthquake through Lake Michigan that will destroy 30 miles around the Lake. I believe it.
Sorry, it is not 30 but 300 miles around Chicago. It will make the Mississipp River 35 miles wide and divide the U.S.A into two parts. It is believed to be triggered by our insisting that Jerusalem be divided, God will divide us. When the houses were razed in Gaza that Pres. Bush was part of, houses were razed in New Orleans a week later..
amazing photography, i think some of these are award taking pictures.
Amazing photos. Really great collection.
It says:
> 1280 x 1024 pixels—best for larger/widescreen monitors
Must be some kind of twisted practical joke or something…
I like what I see
I am in Miami right now and I am looking at the bridge from my Balcony I was like hold up, told tight haha.
Superb!
Awesome wallpapers. Thanks!
Is there a zip file with all of them in??
I don’t really want to individually download all 40

Muchas gracias !
Amazing! Wow..
wow, super pictures, thanks
seems that some links doesn’t work, I get an 500-Server-Error since 2 days.
For example: Lightning at Huntington Beach, Ohio
I love these lists… I always end up with a new desktop background image. Penguins rule!
Love the photos, but one of the photos bothers me. The horse on his back seems to be in trouble. It looks like something yellow is tied around his front legs keeping him from moving. Hope i’m wrong. What do you think…
Simply Enchanting
Very, very nice images. I loved every single one of them.
viola, the horse is hobbled. That’s basically handcuffs to keep the horse from running away; pretty standard practice. I don’t think it’s preventing the horse from getting up.
The caption seems to indicate this is a pretty normal state of affairs for the horse.
Nice wallpapers, but really.. National Geographic is better on TV.
Okay these pics are simply amazing. They take me away for a moment while I am incased in my home on a cool winter eve.
THANKS SO MUCH REALLY!!
This is cool stuff alright. My online photography students will digg this for sure.
Fantastic gallery. I created this wallpaper from one of these photo for kids http://www.flickr.com/photos/bickov/4426127881/sizes/o/
Leaves you breathless.confirms my belief that god is the best painter.
The photographers are “third eye “of god. Too good !
Amazing images.
King penguins are very cool!
The Delta formation of Alluvial Fan, Alaska looks fantastic. I wonder from what height that pic has been taken. Anyway, it is awesome
Thank you so much for sharing this Ferman!!!!! I couldn’t upload wallpapers from National Geographic in good resolution, you helped answer a prayer
I chose – for now! – the woman’s hands…
