Welcome to September! Found this wallpaper out of the blue while scrolling through r/wallpapers, and decided to make some small tweaks to it (made the background grayscale, slightly de-saturated the rainbow sphere to match and added a film grain). Love how it turned out. Reminds me of the demo wallpapers that people made for the Mac II and various Amigas back when ray-tracing started to come into the computer world in the early 1990's.

Flow - one of the stock wallpapers from early versions of Mac OS X.

In keeping with the classic theme, I also have the globe from iOS 1 on my iPhone (well, not really, it's the stock Astronomy wallpaper but it's more or less the same thing) and the starry mountain lake from the first iPadOS on my iPad.
Nice. I'm curious about the monochrome widgets... how did you do that?

Spent the past few days cleaning up my Mac and TimeCapsule, basically trashing about 90 GB of files that were either duplicates or no longer needed. Afterwards, I felt like redoing my setup as well.
Nature imagery is not exactly my preference for a wallpaper, but it can be soothing and inspiring at times.
