Photo Pages

Here are JPEG images that I have picked up from various places around the web. Credit is given where I could remember where they came from. If I have ripped anyone off inadvertently, email me and I'll give the credit due or remove it.

I live in the country at the end of some bad copper, so downloads are sloooooow. So this page lists the links to the JPG image. Click on a description. It gets you to an image, sometimes full size, sometimes a thumbnail. If you like it the full sized one,  right click it for a menu and set it as wallpaper. If you convert it to a BMP and save it in your main Windows folder, it is available to switch in and out as regular wallpaper.
