Thanks! & Sorry for the late response, but I used Samsung photo magic erase to get rid of some people and tour boats, as well as add a "cut out" style filter. Then I used Pixlr to boost the reds and other color curves.
I took this picture in Iceland of the black sand beach and with the grey skies, it turned out almost like a black and white photo. Makes for a nice background.
To be honest, we really didn't mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.
We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.
I actually have a rotating slideshow, and the theme is "fancy aesthetics". What the pictures actually are can be anything from art (digital paintings, anime, furry art, whatever), to photos (whether they be from fashion catalogues or screenshots from movies or whatever). As long as I consider the aesthetics sufficiently fancy.
Here's what was on monitor 1 at the time of screenshotting, and here is monitor 2.
Lol, I use the same pics in your link for my dual screens at work, and set then too rotate. So far no one appears to have any idea what Studio Ghibli is; they just think it's random pretty landscapes.
