This is a very special hub page. The images provided here for use as computer desktop background images, wallpapers, or desktop theme images will probably confound you. These pictures are from some of the most beautiful mountain-scape area in the world. Can you guess where these majestic mountain ranges, verdant meadows, blue lakes and white water rivers are located. They could be in the American Rockies or Canadian Rockies, but they are not. They could be in the Caucasus Mountains of Russia, but they are not. They could be in the Peruvian Andes, but they are not. You might have fun writing down a guess but the odds are you will never guess the true location.

Some people think these images are from the fantastically beautiful South Island of New Zealand, but they are not. Several persons a positive these images come from Western China, or Nepal, but they are not. And let's not forget Northern Italy, Austria, Southern Germany, South Eastern France and Switzerland. These images could be from any of those countries, but they are not.

These mountain images are from North West Pakistan and North East Afghanistan, the very areas that include the SWAT valley that the Taliban is trying to take over. The very area now engaged in a fight for survival between the Taliban, their terrorist friends and the Pakistani Army, newly awakened to the threat within their own borders. That's correct, Pakistan. Believe it or not.

The use of a personalized desktop background is pleasing to many personal computer users. Most sources of desktop backgrounds, or wallpapers require payment or subscription in order for the user to access the required images.

Our desktop wallpapers and background images are free for any visitor to download, save and install on their own computer. This first hub page is a random sampling of some of the types of wallpapers and backgrounds. In the future we will publish desktop wallpaper background collections that are grouped according to specific groups. We also plan to have background wallpapers for computer users of all ages, from kids to tween to teens and adults.

And now we are ready to tell you where these fantastically beautiful images of Alpine style mountain tops, glacier rivers and lakes and unbelievably verdant green meadows are located.
