Second Nature Screen Saver

Even though we don t approve of its somewhat intrusive behavior, this free nature-themed screensaver s top-of-the-line images are a huge point in its favor. Second Nature Screen Saver offers nine scenic photos, which range from a moonlit lighthouse to sunset on a tropical beach. As all images appear to have been shot by professionals, they are razor sharp and crystal clear, though a soundtrack would be a nice touch. One complaint we must voice is the application forces you to enter your e-mail address during installation; you won t be able to opt out of the developer s newsletter until you at least receive one. It s also irritating the program automatically changes your wallpaper without your permission. Second Nature Screen Saver s feature set isn t exhaustive, but you can determine the image interval, enable random mode, and choose whether or not to show captions. If you can live with the annoyances described above, you re likely to enjoy this screensaver s awe-inspiring photographs.
