Wallpaper Wednesdays #1

[lewys-gp]

Hi all,

So, as most of you will be aware, this is my first post on the community 😄. When I joined, I wanted to make sure I brought big ideas with me that will benefit the community. This is one of those.

As humans, we spend so much time on our devices (mainly, phones) that we may as well have nice, fresh wallpapers to stare at too! That's my opinion anyway.

The idea is that on a Wednesday, I or a community member will start a new thread titled Wallpaper Wednesdays #X. They'll post a photo that users can save and use as a new wallpaper. The OP can also provide some context for the photo too; this could be why they like it, maybe what the photo is of, or something else 📸.

Other members can also reply with their own photos too! Hopefully, that means, we'll end up with a nice collection to choose from by the end of the day.

This could be a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly feature, dependent on its popularity. If there's a Wednesday when a Wallpaper Wednesdays thread hasn't been created but you'd like to share your new wallpaper, then please go ahead and start one.

Here's my submission 🌌:

Context: This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The photo was taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope between 2003 and 2012. You can read more in this article.

Personally, I love a bit of space. I think this is such an amazing photo, that reminds us of how big the universe is. Feel free to save the photo and use it as a wallpaper too. The dark background works so well on my iPhone.

Let me know if you like it! If you have any thoughts or your own wallpapers to share, please do 😊.

Thanks!

Cheers, @RafaC! 

@madasaf1sh and Rafa, if you use Twitter, I recommend following someone called @virtualastro. They often tweet about upcoming events. I've caught the Space Station and SpaceX's satellites going over a good few times.

What a great topic

I love photography ... but ... just a Happy Snappa

My screen shot on my laptop if an out of focus pic of my cat Marty, looking straight to camera

My screen shot on my Xperia L1 is just a colourful amorphous one which comes with the phone

I too love big wild cats like @Cleoriff 

The tiger is my favourite

I once saw a documentary about trying to capture footage about the elusive snow leopard. The film makers could hear snow leopards calling ... but ... heart-breakingly they did get not-live footage of a snow leopard with her foot caught in one of those GoddamnAwful man-traps ... I cried ... the camera crew said she would be unable to catch prey with her leg like that and would undergo a very slow death ... how could anyone set traps for this elusive stunnigly beautiful creature 😞
