Home pages! (desktop backgrounds)
 

How about seeing those computer "home pages" of the lake? This picture has been mine for over two years! My husband Art in the water right off of our dock!

I don't have a home page, no one will let me in!! :laugh:

This is one of my desktop backgrounds though.....

Sailing Moment
 

Ahh. Every time I look at this all my muscles just relax and I remember the feeling and sound of the wind.

Relax !!!
 

Cate, Looking at the weather you are heading into I don't think I could relax. :)

My view
 

For days like today, this is perfect!

Can't wait.

hey
 

Hey!! thats my screen saver too

Here's Mine
 

This was a spectacular sunset I captured in 2004 when the sun set just as the clouds began to break after several days of rain. No filters or work with photoshop, just a very basic Sony point and shoot digital camera. Looking north towards Moultonborough, Sandwich range in the background and the Ossipee range to the right.

I knew all along that this was a crowsnest View!! :laugh:

Wolfeboro Town Docks
 

Here's my favorite desktop background image. I snapped this photo at the Wolfeboro Town Docks around 8 AM one foggy Sunday morning in mid-September several years ago. Not my boat, BTW, but it makes a lovely desktop background. I used an inexpensive, 5mp digital point & shoot camera.

This pic was caught by my webcam and is my current home screen. I only wish I could of caught this shot with my Canon 18 M.P. camera!!

And mine.
 

Lakeport NH

Well we have many including lots of sunsets, this is the Thursday races off of Welch a little prior to sunset.

This is my desktop image, looking toward Gansy Island which is just past the trees on the right. I also made the picture into a skin for my laptop so the image is displayed on the front and back of the screen.

Great thread!

great pictures
 

Just want to say that this thread has really made my day. Thanks everyone!

And it's made my day, too! Thanks to everyone for sharing their LOVELY Winni photos. Makes us REAL ANXIOUS for summer days to arrive once again!

This is mine: A Good Sailing Day out on the Broads: :D NB

PS: Cocktails @ 4.

Great photo NoBozo. It is often difficult to capture just how rough it can get on the Broads but you did it the best I've ever seen!

my FB cover photo and desktop pic
 

What a GREAT thread! This one's of my kids on our dock at Lockes Is. last summer after a loooooong travel day from Arizona. One of my favorite lake pics I've ever taken.

To NoBozo:

You're kidding; right????? That looks like the North Atlantic.

My House on the Lake, Seasonal of course.

One of the better threads on the forum in a while! Here are my slices of this heaven that I rotate on my desktop. All original shots, no post-processing involved.

First taken November 15th, 2012. We had a week or so where every sunset was like this.

Second and third, my favorite time of day, the early morning calm of a summer day.

I think you've been had....

my current work one
http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...23597512_o.jpg
My home one used to be from the top of a certain lighthouse, but dang windows 8 and "metro", the desk top is sort of an app, so a rarely ever see it now!

Install Classic Shell or something similar (there are several). You can download it for free here. It adds back the Start button and normal menus to Windows 8 and lets you startup in your desktop, instead of Metro. I use Windows 8 with Classic Shell and it works like Windows 7.

Sal, same night I took mine. It WAS beautiful, all over the region.

Island on a lake on an island on a lake on an island
 

This has been my desktop background recently. I took this photo from my table at breakfast last June using my phone. Anyone know where it is?

So Hard to Choose!
 

I have mine rotating through a whole bunch! Drives Paul crazy. :laugh:
There are some really amazing shots in this thread! Thanks everyone for sharing your special pictures with us.

Timeless
 

Ya know...some of these shots are absolutely timeless. Kids on a dock? That could have been me decades ago. That's what I love about this lake. So many great memories, so many generations. The feeling of returning home (even if you don't live here year-round)

Phillipines?
 

Lake Taal, Philippines maybe???

Yep. Delicious Black Tilapia and rice that morning.

I borrowed someone else's great photo of Sunset Lake and rotate that with my daughter driving the Formula at night when she could barely see over the dash. That one's my favourite but it's oriented vertically and it doesn't fit on the screen properly.

Change them all the time but this one gets used a lot

Could that great photo of Sunset Lake be one of mine?

19 Mile Bay
 

YUP: Just kidding: :D That was about 125 nautical miles North West of Bermuda..June 1979. I was Solo. Later on that day..I took a "Knockdown", (During Cocktails yet...OH the Humanities) :look:.... with the mast in the water.

The boat popped back up and continued sailing under Wind Vane self steering.... while I sat in the cockpit Looking. The boat was a C&C 27. Great fun. :) NB

I'll have to look but yes, I think it is! You have quite a lot of great photos.

Love those old photos of summer on the Lake.

Rainbow
 

A decent rainbow

hopefully, this will upload
 

sunset pic from our yard - rattlesnake peninsula, sun setting behind diamond island. taken may 12, 2012. i miss the lake.

Snowmobiling
 

A lot of really great pictures. Here is another of my winter favorites.
Taken from a mountaintop at sunset.

I took this one of Opechee Bay in late November of 2010 from the parking lot of "O's" Restaurant in Laconia.

Fall in the cove
 

Fall favorite

Just a few of mine...

Pic1 There are many beautiful spots on the lake, but I have to admit that I got a million dollar view.

Pic2 Summer time late afternoon cruise across the broads.

Pic3 Jefferson Notch Rd after a good dumping of snow

Pics 4&5, Jericho Mountain's new warming hut, and the view from inside. Awesome place to get off the trail, stoke up the wood stove and warm up a bit.

The pics are absolutely beautiful !!! I am enjoying each and every one. I also would like to share, but cannot figure out how to do it. When I send a photo via an email, I go to My Pictures and select, open and send. I do the same on Facebook with success. But here it asks for a "url". If somebody has the patience to explain how to post a photo, I would very much appreciate it. I have tried, no luck. But.......fabulous photos everyone. wow !!! thank you.

Posting a picture here is pretty easy. Proceed as you would to make a post. Type in the text you want as usual.

NOW scroll down below the text box and find "Manage Attachments". Push the button. A box will appear up to the left. Inside the top of the box is a button entitled "Browse". Click that and it should take you to the place on your computer where you keep your pictures. It may show you "Folders", or maybe "Thumbnails" of your collection. The most recent pictures should be at the bottom. Right click on the picture you want and Preview..good idea because the thumbnails are pretty small. When you decide if that's the correct picture, right click on the picture and "Select". The picture file number and location will show up in the earlier box to the left of the "Browse" button.

Now click "Upload". Then Wait. It may upload in a few seconds ..or it may take a minute or two. Patience here. When it's done uploading, the ID of the picture will show up again, BUT.. down and to the left a little with a little color icon next to it.

NOW look for the "Submit Reply"" button. It may be partially hidden underneath the lefthand box. If you left click OUTSIDE the lefthand box, it will disappear and expose the "Submit Reply" button. Click "Submit Reply".

That should do it. NB

PS: If you like the way that worked and want to ADD another picture to the finished and displayed post, just click EDIT as usual and do the whole procedure again with a new picture.

PPS: I like to go to where my pictures are on the computer...BEFORE I write my post, just to bring the pictures "To The Top" as it were. I think it helps the upload program find the pictures easier.

PPPS: With computers, nothing is absolute. :D

When you reply or quote look for manage attachments, that is where you can browse and look for your photo on your pc.

I am trying it...you guys are the best !!

this is great !!! ok...Meredith, Leavitte Park Beach. Yay !! thanks again.

October sunrise
 

Early, one October morning in 2011, a visual drama exploded over the rim of my coffee cup. I grabbed the camera...photos are cropped, but not enhanced in any way.

Just when I was thinking...."so many beautiful sunsets, we have just as beautiful sunrises" Sleepersbound posted a sunrise shot! Here's mine:

Sleepersbound
 

I was staying with one of your neigbors back in 2000. There was quite the evening storm with lighting and torential rain! That morning when the sun rise in back of Treasure Island, I got the same effect and I am looking for the picture. In fact my friend has a copy displayed in her cottage the last I knew. Since then I always enjoy my coffee with the sun rising over Alton.

Lots of simply amazing pictures in this thread. This place is absolutely beautiful when it comes right down to it. No place else I'd rather be.:D

This is my desktop on the home computer. It is kinda old so I should probably take a better one. Taken in Melvin Village...

(Sunrise over Mirror Lake...By the narrows Tis!)

:laugh::laugh: You remembered!!!

The first photo I posted was actually a sunrise. I use pics from the lake often for my desk top, from every season. I use this one when I want to remind myself that sometimes it's good to change your perspective on things, to be in the moment and appreciate what is right in front of you.

This has to be right up there with my all time favorite thread. We have some talented photographers here.

Bear Island Vista
 

Looks like Bearadise has a great view of nearby Dollar I$land.

A Lab, Water and His Ball
 

One Very Happy Chocolate Lab. This time he missed the ball.

I have had this Desktop background on my computer for a few years and don't have a clue where I got it from:

All these pictures have brought me smiles while I'm imagining the upcoming summer. And now that it's February I can truthfully say that "we'll be back NEXT MONTH!" Counting the days.....;)

Okay -- there are some AMAZING pictures in this thread ..... you all got me hooked

My Screensaver rotates through about 50 of our most favorite "Memories"..... below is a small selection of some of our favorite Scenic shots

(1) Fall Morning shot from Bay Point
(2) The Mount passes by daily
(3) Winter shot from Lake Shore Park (not where we live)

Finally --- If you ever see us around ... please do walk up and say hello !!

I'll play.

A simple one.

Tracks on edge of Paugus Bay

Thank you all for these incredible photos of one of the best places on this earth! I'm loving all the snow we are getting right now but can't wait to be back on the island.

This weekend after the storm. "Epilogue"

After the storm
 

This was taken on our way to Fays Boatyard from the west side of Bear island.

Wow, this is a great thread. I am sitting here in my office 3 days after the "BIG SNOW" in Connecticut. These pictures sure have made my day. Here's mine from Blueberry Island, taken by my friend Andrew last summer!

Winnigal is right
 

These pictures help us make it through the winter, but also makes us pray for Ice Out so we can return to the lake. Keep the posting and pics coming!

Inspiring photos...
 

I think we should make a Winni Dot Com calendar from these original photos and sell it at our next Forum Fest.... ;)

Fall in Alton
