We all love wallpapers and they are always a great source of inspiration. So today I decided to featuring today a 25 Amazing wallpapers from National Geographic. All wallpapers have high resolution size. Enjoy!
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes a stream carves a canyon through rock formed during the 1912 eruption of nearby Novarupta Volcano. The snowcapped peaks are Mount Griggs and Mount Katmai (far right), part of an active system of ten volcanoes surrounding the valley, a hundred miles south of the proposed Pebble mine.

Fireworks, New York City
The unrenovated northern portion of the High Line turns westward, bringing the structure almost to the Hudson River. The rail company CSX still owns the section, but Friends of the High Line hope one day it will be part of the park. If that happens, the Fourth of July view witnessed by a staff member from the group and her companion could be enjoyed by many New Yorkers.

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
This was taken in December 2010 during my first trip to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. It took me four days, waiting in the cold weather an hour before sunrise. On the fourth day, everything fell together. The gorgeous sunrise, wind direction, and snow geese all took off right in front of my lens.

Namsto Lake, Tibet
In Tibetan, Namsto means “Heavenly Lake,” and the serene beauty should not be missed by anyone who travels to Tibet. Its purity and solemnity are symbols of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it is considered one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. Namsto is famous for its high altitude (4,720 meters) and vast area (1,961 square kilometers) and as a sacred Buddhist place with many Tibetans undertaking a yearly pilgrimage to make the “Kora” around the lake.

Bay Bridge, San Francisco
I wasn’t even supposed to get this photo—I only ended up here after my original vantage point of the Golden Gate Bridge was completely fogged over. I was very glad I did make it over to the Embarcadero, though, because the Bay Bridge looked amazing!

Chicago
I happened to be in the right place at the right time when I took this picture. The place was Nichols Bridgeway leading to the modern wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, with beautiful views of downtown Chicago, and the time was sunset. I love the architecture, the vibrant city life and the light, all captured in the same frame.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland
During a magic trip driving round Iceland, it was raining a lot. After crossing over Snæfellsnes Peninsula, everything changed, and these amazing lenticular clouds appeared. After this photo I was followed by a rainbow for about half an hour. One very surreal day.
