I know you don't want "google" as an answer, but this is just as much for anyone who reads the post and may not know...
Google recently (within the last few months or so) added a few new tricks to their image search, which easily allow you to further filter results very easily. Go to Google Images click the link next to the search box. This will easily allow you to filter results by size, content type, color type, and a few others. Once you search for an image, or generic theme, you can narrow it down further by selecting one of the generic colors available there.
It's not the best resource out there for images, but it is by far the largest, which has made it very easy for me to locate about 12 high quality 1280*1024 images I use for cycling backgrounds. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x86) CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Monitor(s) Displays 1 LCD Display (Not sure of size) Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Microsoft Media Pro Mouse Dynex 5 button Optical Mouse Hard Drives 1x 80GB SATA Internet Speed 0.3MB down, 0.1MB up Other Info Yes...I pay $60 a month for THAT connection. |

I use deviantart. Try customization>wallpaper in the Categories section on the left hand side, and then you can search each sub-category once you've got there. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP HDX18t OS Windows 7 HP 64 CPU Intel Q9100 Memory 4GB DDR3 Graphics Card nVidia 9600m GT Screen Resolution 1920x1080 |

Hi there
Don't underestimate the resource - but wht not just click on "Get more themes online" in the personalize option..
There's loads of beautiful wallpapers from quite a few countries.
Excellent starting place.
For example I'm using the lovely Jaguar from Brazil on my W2K3 server as background
Cheers
