where do you guys get your widescreen wallpaper for your macbook pros?

this thread might be cool for giving us all a good library of wallpaper to keep the screen looking fresh.

so far i just search things on google images until i find something that works.

Wallpaper is Windows terminology. They're desktops on the Mac (if you are doing a search). Personally I get all my desktops from APOD, NASA, Mars Express, Cassini, etc and my own photo library. I don't stretch them, but tile or scale them (down) to fit.

Home Depot, Bed Bath Beyond are great places for Wallpaper.

For Desktop pictures, well, that's an entirely different question.
Google pictures usually does it if I don't have it, but I prefer a plain, solid black desktop so that I can focus on work.
