Nature wallpapers

This page is the broadest on the site: landscapes and the natural world in general. Mountain ridges at first light, a stretch of shoreline, a meadow after rain, a lone tree on a hill. The pictures do not share a single style, but they share a quality, which is that nothing in them is urgent.

That makes them good everyday wallpapers. The skies are usually clear in the upper part of the frame, so a clock or a menu bar sits on open space. The ground is darker and more detailed, and anchors the picture.

Both wide and tall frames are included. The wide ones follow the classic landscape composition with a horizon on a third line, which keeps icons from covering the subject. The tall ones concentrate on a single feature, such as a waterfall or a peak, and suit phones.

Colour ranges from fresh spring greens to autumn amber and the blue hour before dawn. Choose by mood: warm light for a cheerful screen, cool for a calm one.

Because nature is wide, the other pages cut it into smaller subjects. Mountain, ocean, desert and forest are good places to narrow down.
