As a side note: How come downloading these wallapers/screensavers take so long? I have a very fast internet connection but it takes at least 15 minutes or so to download one wallpaper. And it's so annoying that you can't switch windows because then the download aborts and the progress isn't saved. This whole process is rather cumbersome.

Also, I wish they'd add more scenes from Europe, European cities.
For me, an aerial takes maybe 10 seconds to download when selected. One moment, let me time it: yep, exactly ten second for the Redwoods River one I just tested now. Two potential issues, beta software you're using, or not, and you're experiencing a network internet issue.

Wow. No, I am neither using beta nor am I having network internet issues, large software updates (1GB+) download super fast.
I don't know - it's not a big thing per se but I find it rather interesting.

Why not try to delete some (all?) of your aerials and then select one at a time in System Settings and see. The file path is Library (not user Library) > Application Support> com.apple.idleassetsd > Customer > 4KSDR240FPS
 
Until they can come up with something better than nature images, and as they continue to name their releases after places in nature, they should do what they did before they used this stylized gimmick and just choose a beautiful image from the place the release is named for as the wallpaper for that release.

What is creative about images of nature? That was your criticism.

they shouldn’t make them the marketing image to represent the system, and if they add new abstract images to the library of images, they might try to make something better.

Which is still my question.
I stand by my opinion that it's a matter of taste. I find the “formatting” of nature images in stylized colors very creative. On the one hand, it plays with design, while on the other hand, the connection to the location is preserved.

You may consider that uncreative, and that's fine with me. But “something better” is not an answer. And certainly not more than a feeling. How are Apple or I supposed to know what you think is better?

I'm with you on this, fast internet, and using a fully baked OS
