The nice thing about 3:2 displays is that’s the standard ratio for all DSLR pictures.
Here’s a picture I took in southern California. (I do a lot of astrophotography – Login • Instagram )

Um, that’s the way the tree really is.

Mesa Arch at the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. A fitting wallpaper for our Framework Laptops. This arch overhangs a U-shaped canyon. At dawn the sunlight hits the canyon wall which reflects up and lights the underside of the arch giving it that famous orange glow. The bright glow only lasts ~15 minutes and then starts to fade.
Taking this photo involved some effort. I left the Moab motel room at 3:30 am and drove an hour in the dark. I arrived at 4:30am, still dark out, and one car was already in the parking lot. About this time I realized I didn’t have a flashlight so I waited for others to arrive so I could follow them to the arch. Once at the arch, you setup your camera on a tripod and wait for dawn. The desert air is quite cool in the morning even in June so I kept moving to stay warm. Other photographers started to arrive and lots of cameras on tripods got placed very close together as “photo” space is limited. It can get a bit crowded at dawn but everyone cooperated so you could get your pictures. This is one photo of many I took that day. Enjoy.

I live about 2 hours SE of Moab, closer to Telluride. Around here its “get to drive to…” not “have to drive to…” as the scenery is awesome and changes dramatically every 20ish miles.
Great shot! Let me know next time you are this way and I will point you to some other scenic spots that are a little less crowded!

Minimalist silver-on-black on the screen to play on the black-on-silver of the lid.

This wallpaper is a shot of LaSalle Canyon at Starved Rock State Park. The waterfall is sparse in October but the flow can be very heavy in the spring due to the snow melting. Visitors are always poising under the waterfall for a quick photo.

I used to love going there as a kid/ teen. Especially enjoyed sitting on the main ledge over the river, before the walkways and railings got put up up there. My high school class made the model that was in the museum, in fact. Ask me about the time I accidentally free climbed French Canyon …

My wife and I try to visit the park once or twice a year. She loves walking on the trails while I take lots of pictures.

Your picture has found a home on my desktop. When my external 1080p monitor is attached, the top and bottom get cropped slightly on that display, but the composition still looks good. Unfortunately, your signature gets clipped on the external monitor, but it still shows up proudly on the main screen.
Thanks for posting your work!

Came up with this just for fun. Got some inspiration from @JacobFavreault’s earlier post. I’m no graphic designer, but I thought it looked cool.

And for those of us Arch, BTW users, I made this too.

Another space image here. What you see is a visualization of the radio emissions from the center of our galaxy. It turns out there’s a Framework logo there! Who would have thought 
This picture is based on the awesome work found here. I would love to create a higher resolution version but my current laptop can’t handle that. Once I have received my batch 8 with 64GB ram I’ll work on it again.

That looks fantastic! It almost looks like an eye, with the logo as the iris
You are more than right. In fact, the image produced by the Event Horizon Telescope indeed resembles a bit distorted Framework logo. Exploitable

I noticed the image on the newly-created Linux on the Framework page was juuust a few pixels off from the native 2256x1504 resolution. So I fixed that and removed the white letterboxing as well:
