Desktop background pictures -where can I get them?

[pax-eterna]

So, in Monterey all I can get is the one picture for a desktop background....can anyone suggest where I can get more of these great pics so I can have a slideshow sort of thing?

I am guessing they would need to be formatted for Monterey??

There are a lot to pick from already in System Preferences. If you want more of the classic ones you can get the old macOS ones here

Yeah there are the wallpapers (already had a look in prefs), but they are not pictures! All I can get is the default one for Monterey (which I assume is the Monterey coast??) checked, sorry it is Big Sur

What do you mean that's all you can get?

It's the only real picture, oh I discovered that Catalina is also a real pic...the other stuff there is stylised images...I would also like the phots to cycle, like every 30 minutes or so but haven't managed that trick yet

It's pretty simple (not really a "trick", it's a standard setup for Desktop Pictures)
Put pictures of your choosing into a folder. (several different formats can be used. JPEGs work just fine)
Put that folder in your user/Pictures folder.
Choose that folder from the System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver pane, then the Desktop tab.
You will see that pane now shows you the choice to set Change Picture - so you would need to check that box. Then, choose the time drop-down to 30 minutes.
And, now it will cycle through all the pictures in that folder, switching to another picture each 30 minutes.
There you go...!
