When we want to go exploring, we (of course) pull out the couch cushions and start setting up a pillow/cushion jungle in the living room.

But when National Geographic goes exploring, they really go exploring – all around the world, to places we’ve never even dreamed of.

And they take pictures.

Awesome pictures. In fact, we can’t believe how well National Geographic’s award-winning photography lends itself to being used as desktop wallpaper on our computer – and luckily enough, National Geographic now offers many of their photos in wallpaper form. With breathtaking photos capturing topics as broad-reaching as an Old Havana playground and Pigeons in St. Peter’s Square, why, we might actually return the couch cushions back to their intended place-setting because we don’t need them anymore.

We’re about as happy right now as David Livingstone in Zanzibar!
