I am really posting this topic so I can steal everyone's cool looking desktop backgrounds. 8)
I am reading through the LOTR books again so with that in mind this is on my desktop this week.

Greybriar,
Is that Mad Ludwig's castle?
Yes, it is.
I've got about 15 or so that rotate on a regular basis (woohoo stupid Windows 7 features!). Various 40K images, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a Penguins logo, a few sports images, and some game related stuff.
I'm so grown up. ;D
Currently I'm using an image I snapped on my deck last fall. I'll provide a cropped snapshot, and a link to the original (rather large) image.

That's a great shot, LB. How close did you manage to get to take that?

I was standing out on the deck when it just landed on the table. It seemed to want to rest for a moment, so I pulled out my phone. It's an HTC with some super camera. I was probably four feet away - but the camera's snapshot was so large and clear that I can zoom in by just cropping the image. I managed to get three shots; that one is probably the best. The full image is on the link. Download it and crop it to your satisfaction.

This one too is awesome-sauce.
I've got a mix of really outstanding photos my wife has taken over the years of vacation, some photos of the kids, and a couple of maps, all of which rotate every 5 minutes or so.
Here are a few of the favorites
