These are my favorites. I use 4 different wallpapers depending on what time of year it is, however with the new windows 7 rotating wallpapers I'm slowly adding more to the repetoire.

As you can tell I'm a big fan of oil paintings and video games

Rotating backgrounds? How do you do that?

looks like a How-to needs to be written for this one. It's simple tho.

Windows 7:
1 - Press Win+D (clean screen) and Right Click on Desktop and Click Personalize
2 - Click Desktop Background Link on bottom of screen
3 - Put a CheckBox next to all the images you want to rotate
4 - Set the Picture Position and "Change picture every" at the bottom of the screen (I also click Shuffle)
5 - Click Save Changes

That's it.
