Are there any 4k images of nice mosaics?

I don't see why not. Google will provide an answer instantly

Just for the heck of it, I googled "nice mosaics 4k" and got quite a batch of stuff that is either not very nice, or nice but not mosaics. Of course "nice" is very subjective.

I take it you're thinking of changing your desktop wallpaper again?

I still can't get over the little boy who "solves" the trolley problem by first running over the six victims on one track, then backing the train up and running over the one victim on the other track... and then his younger sister who "solves" it by just taking all the people off the track.

What sport were they watching?


Here's something a friend posted on another gaming forum. Apparently the current full Moon is called the "Wolf Moon":

It's too cloudy here to get a good view. As I mentioned on the other forum, the Moon here looks like a soft, fuzzy, round thing floating in the sky.

Regardless of what time of the month it rises, January's full moon is often called the Wolf Moon, as people hear wolves howling more often during this time of the year.
​

Do you hear them where you are? Not for quite a few centuries here.

I'm more surprised that the King and Queen of Sweden need to wear photo ID. Where were they that they weren't instantly recognisable?

On their shirt are the 5 olympic rings, so I guess that could be anywhere on the planet.

No wolves around here. We have coyotes, though.

I wouldn't have recognized them if they turned up on my doorstep. Presumably it would be the same for anyone else who either wasn't Swedish, wasn't in their social/diplomatic circle, or didn't follow the Swedish Royal Family (much as any monarchist in Canada would immediately recognize any member of the British Royal Family who had been in the news much). Everyone has to wear ID at events like these.

I figured they must be at some kind of international sporting event. I was just curious to know which sport in particular they were enjoying.

The moon in the sky here was absolutely amazing on my drive home from work. It looked unreal, it was so big, full, close, and low on the horizon. Really breathtaking. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't want to try to take a photo and drive at the same time.

I guess I could have pulled over, but then I would have lost my spot in the line for the traffic light

Have you tried something like "penrose tiling wallpaper" or perhaps "islamic mosaic patterns"

 

[Paul in Saudi]

Is there a wallpaper size for this? I like it.

What happens in the Yukon when you mix bhangra dancing with Celtic music:

The guy who is dancing is Gurdeep Pandher, who has posted numerous videos of his bhangra dancing. To see the video posted with this photo, click here.
