Free Wallpaper (without the “e”) via Flickr

Apart from having an obvious aversion to the letter “e”, Flickr has rapidly become known as being one of the net’s most popular and respected free image storing and sharing sites and now, in a clever move, a chap by the name of Marco Gomes is offering a new site based on Flickr which will hunt down quality free desktop wallpapers for you from this image sharing site based on your search criteria.

You either love or hate the very notion of desktop wallpaper, but a good background image can undoubtedly act to raise the spirits and bring a little character to proceedings and I must say that if you are interested in quality wallpaper (without the “e”) then this site, named somewhat predictably as “Wallpapr” is a great free resource.

First impressions are impressive, with the scope and quality of the imagery being returned from a search term being of extremely good quality and, if it helps to steer people from the numerous wallpaper sites that have millions of redirects then that can hardly be considered a bad thing.

Still at Beta – A search on obvious things (in this case “sea”) already returns an impressive listing, though searches on more specialised terms often returns with only a few images – if any. Still, as time passes the availability of imagery should widen in scope considerably.

You can link directly to the Wallpapr page via this link.

Update:

This post has been amended as I originally thought that Flickr were behind this site. This is not the case as the site has been created by Marco Gomes (who is not part of Flickr) and who has kindly contacted me to advise that my original assumption was incorrect. I have therefore amended the article to see that Marco is correctly, and justly credited for this great resource. You can read Marcus’s comment below. (Thanks for getting in touch, Marcus).
