It was a Guinness ad
It won some awards the year it came out as well. I always enjoy their campaigns :-)
Nice desktop too! I'm horribly picky when it comes to backgrounds so mine is mostly white and textured with absolutely no icons. Looks more like a piece of (admittedly boring) modern art than a screen.
Landscapes
Sometimes I have my little ones on screen but most of the time I have glorious visions of the planet. At the moment I have a view which I think is looking out over Monument Valley (see the fave city thread) and I've a few others that have similar ideas (valleys, snowy landscapes etc). I like ones where the picture is so clear that you feel you're actually there....
I think ...
... the turtle was stolen from Terry Pratchett, it is very like The Great A'Tuin, the giant turtle that swims through space with the discworld, supported by 4 elephants, riding on its back. But I think he in turn garnered the idea from a religion from somewhere!
I change mine infrequently, This is my current theme:
EDIT: I now understand the world turtle and elephants to be from Hindu mythology.
Thanks Henry :)
I've saved a shortcut to the YouTube clip so I can find it easily and watch it whenever I want.
mine = spaced out

I went to the Fireworks
I went to the Fireworks Championships and stook my camera on long exposure and catched some great shots. I use Random Desktop and it changes every 5 mins. Keeps it interesting... Used to have movie posters but most of my favourites are NSFW...
Couldn't find it ... but ...
Do you remember the TV advert where the 'white horses' were created from, and galloped out of the surf with the human surfers? I can't remember what advert it was, but I thought the graphics were amazing.
We have our boring company logo on the office PC's, but on my home PC I have three white horses galloping out of the surf ... but not THE white horses. I am sure someone will understand my babble.
