Stunningly beautiful high resolution photos from OS X


Recommended Posts

If you have Mountain Lion, open Finder, and point it to this address
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.Framework/Versions/A/Resources/Default Collections/
 
On Mavericks: /Library/Screen Savers/Default Collections

Or download here : http://www.4shared.c...HDDesktops.html
 
Copy them all to your Pictures folder or elsewhere, and enjoy the high resolution (3200 x 2000) photos. They really are beautiful.
 
Enjoy! :)

Care to upload them?

 

I'm not a fan of these file sharing sites but this is the real deal and it's reasonably fast: http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/76715389/file.html (the captcha gives you the download link).

too many megabytes!

How can I edit my original post to include the location of the photos on OS X Mavericks, and my Dropbox link that I posted in a later post?

You can't. There is a 30 minute timeframe for editing posts.

Not in Mavericks :(

If you dual-boot ML and Mavericks (which, as long as you have the disk space is far from difficult) you can use the same pictures as wallpaper in Mavericks as well.

 

Apple (like Microsoft) has habitually included several fantastic background wallpapers with the OS (typically the GM bits - which is why Mavericks doesn't have them yet); that they did so with ML (as was the case with Lion, Snow Leopard, and even Leopard beforehand) is FAR from surprising.

 

The fun factor is taking that same collection of desktop backgrounds and copying them to an NTFS partition, so you can use them as wallpaper in *Windows*.

It is in Mavericks.

 

I posted the location in a previous post.

    • Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.
    • Ms did go with the you must sign into an account thing with Windows 8 for a while. The same sort of thing they are doing with Windows now and the MS account.
    • Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.).

    • Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
