This is great! I have been using the big sur dynamic photo since there is none for monterey.

Tim's teeth are magnificent! I wonder where he get's his dental work done?

That’s interesting wait! Where did you find it?

It’s on the Mac App Store -- here's their website: https://www.jetsoncreative.com/24hourwallpaper/

Did you know this along 17 mile drive near Pebble Beach? BTW, those are not the same tree. Just very similar.

And neither are in Monterey. One is Pebble Beach, and the other is Pacific Grove.

I'm still wondering why Monterey, and a later release of Big Sur, has the default desktop background at the login screen instead of what I normally have as my desktop background. My chosen background was always the login background as well.

But isn’t that the Lone Cypress off 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach?

it sure is, the most photographed tree in the world

I would love to see iOS and MacOS have a curated wallpaper selection similar to Google Pixel devices. That would be pretty slick.

I always assumed the "abstract" wallpaper was meant to represent Monterey Submarine Canyon (where the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is located).

 

[svish]

A refreshing wallpaper

 

[HMI]

Does anyone know a way to change the login background image from the default abstract to a picture of your choice?

 

[bsamcash]

Touche.

 

[Lcgiv]

Monarch sanctuary…

I do hope Apple adds more wallpapers for Monterey at some point. I know you can easily find good ones online, but I've always loved Apple's wallpaper additions. It just feels like an incomplete release without them!

You mean the one near Pebble Beach isn't the one in the above wallpaper?

Almost certainly Apple would not have used that picture BECAUSE it is the Lone Cypress and the Pebble Beach Company is well known for being very litigious around images of it.

 

[Dowjohnny]

Is it just me or is that poor "tree" thing strapped down with steel wires? Sorry, can't unsee, not suitable as a desktop

Hmmm ? I wonder if that's what actually happened

Yea. It’s unable to fully support itself after a fire.

 

[MisterAndrew]

It’s so weird Apple wasn’t able to find a photographer for this release.

 

[miamialley]

just need a way to be able to do this on ipad pro now

beautiful pic by the way!

You can have your wallpaper change by using automations in the Shortcut app in iOS.

Quoting myself, but I fixed it. The easiest thing to do is just drag the dynamic file into /Library/Desktop Pictures. Any .heic files in there are added to the dynamic desktop panel in System Preferences.

How are you able to drag photos here? My comp is telling me that dragging into that folder is not allowed. Shows a white ?.

Edit: My issue was I was in System/Library/Desktop Pictures, went to ~/Library/Desktop Pictures (which I swear wasn't there when I first looked), and it all worked fine.

 

[rdevillers]

This picture is great! Thank you.

Make sure you are in ~/Library/Desktop Pictures and NOT System/Library/Desktop Pictures. See if that works!
