Lots of people have really cool pics for backgrounds, screensavers and the like so I though we could start a thread with some that people could grab if they wanted to.

Here is one that I got form spaceweather.com today.

Northern lights and Suicide Girls...well done!

Mine are usually Black. Just plain black and icons hidden. I don't think we need a pic to represent that kind of darkness!:tu



I've had some great ones in the past. Maybe now is the time to start digging them up.
