Background Wallpaper

So my Father and I were sitting around tonight commenting on all the extremely nice
and vivid background pictures we get online, much better than what you normally
expect from say a website that provides background pictures professionally. Well
that gave me the idea "hey I should write about that" so here I am, and I am going
to explain how we get images like this



go ahead and click on these pictures.



Both of these pictures I just picked while I was writing this, it took me a few minutes but
its not difficult to find a good picture.

The way we find these type of pictures is from a program called  Google Earth, we spend
many nights browsing around and checking out places we would someday like to go and
look at the pictures that people have taken

you can download Google Earth here

you do have to have a good connection to the internet or it will be extremely slow to view
the program.. but once you have become familiar with the program and you find some
pictures that you like you just click on the image and it takes you to the picture hosting
site and you can click on that image which will show you the full picture ..  right click
on the image and save as background.

I think I may have to do an article on what you can do with Google Earth I have found quite
a large amount of people who have not yet heard of this program.
