Hey folks,
I'm sick of looking at my boring blue background here at work. I need "the" picture for desktop wallpaper... It needs to be 1024x768... What I'm looking for is a good picture of a road. You all probably know what I'm talking about. A look through some fun S-curves, or a beautiful long set of sweepers. The kind of picture that when you look at your monitor, you feel like you're about to tackle those curves :)

Anyone with a pic like that or a link, let me know ;)

Not exactly wallpaper stuff, but I usually go to pashnit.com to stare at some beautiful roads.

Leigh... There's too much traffic on that road... Doesn't make me want to ride ;)

Thanks though...

Yeah, I also like a whole lot of the pics on pashnit, but none of them are 1024x768... I might email the guy and see if he'll send me something...

Try this one though...

Here is another link that tells about this road and has a better overview picture, but too small:

Laguna Seca? Is that coming off the Corkscrew? I can't think of where else on the track that curve could be, but the run-off doesn't look right...
