About Nature wallpapers

Nature collects landscapes and seascapes: mountain ranges, lakes, dunes, forests, waves and night skies. It ranks among the larger sets on the site, with more than 40 wallpapers.

The style

These wallpapers look painted rather than photographed. Some borrow from ink-wash art, with mountains floating in mist. Others push one color hard, such as a red sun over orange ridges or a cyan wave against white foam. Many scenes take place at dusk or under the moon, when the light turns soft and the shadows run long.

The mood

Nature is the most restful set on the site. Still lakes and misty ranges invite a slow look, while the wave and dune pieces add movement without noise. Even the brightest scenes keep a dreamlike quality, because the colors run warmer and stranger than life.

Best uses

Landscapes work well on a desktop because most of them put the horizon low and leave the sky open, which gives icons and widgets a clean place to sit. Choose a lake or dune scene if you want something calm behind a full screen of windows. Choose a mountain or wave piece when you want the desktop itself to be worth looking at.

Featured picks

These scenes take inspiration from real places but show no real location.
