My background image changes on the hour.
Right now I have 1200 images.

Lots of them came from APOD:

(Hmm, nice one there right now.)

Here's a tip, click on the image first, you'll then get the large
hi-def one.  Then download it.

I also use some of my own photos.  Nice to see familiar things on
the screen background.

The main thing I like is to have the image change.
Looking at the same thing all the time is boring.
