50 Images For Personalizing Your Google Homepage

Earlier this month, Google announced an awesome new way to personalize their homepage search. For those of us with an account, we can now select any image/photo from our own computer or choose from the thousands of images located in the Picasa public gallery to use as the background image to Google search. In a search for the perfect image, I’ve hunted down 50 photos ideal for personalizing the homepage.
