Earlier this month Bing launched a new Home Page Gallery showcasing images featured on the U.S Bing homepage during the past 5 years. The gallery includes loads of terrific 1920 x 1200 images all available for download and selectable by category, colour schemes, and geographical locations:
Images are displayed as thumbnails – click on a thumbnail to view in larger size including a full description. When you are ready to download, click on the downward pointing arrow at bottom right of the window, as indicated in the following screenshot:
The image will then open full screen:
- Firefox: right click the image and select “Save Image As”.
- Internet Explorer: right click the image and select “Save picture as”.
- Google Chrome: images will automatically download to your default directory.
Here is a preview of a selection of thumbnails, just to wet your appetite:
There are some really fabulous images included in the collection, enjoy!!

I’be become mesmerised by these images Jim, thanks.
Hi Jim. Any of those photos would beat my plain army green desktop. Guess I’m just a plain guy. Really liked the Mount Shasta photo in California. Daniel.
Thanks for this link, Jim.
Must say I still tend to place shortcuts on the main screen and not “pin to taskbar.”
God knows why..but I do.
And my previous wallpaper was a multi-coloured pix. of Sydney Harbour which while looking lovely it did manage to hide most of my shortcuts. They disappeared at times..well became camouflaged within the mighty scene !!
I was always having to search for the required program and drag out a shortcut only to see that it was named “shortcut2” !! The original turning up from within the Opera house or Harbour Bridge!!
Anyway..I’ve now downloaded a nice blue winters scene from the site you mentioned and lo and behold many old shortcuts are now visible, reappearing from the ether!!
So thanks for that. I now have an easier desktop to see and a tidier one too.
