After examining the access statistics of The-Labs.com, I was shocked realizing more than 50% of traffic came from hot-linking background images I provide here. Please realize, hot-linking images causes my server serve your purpose everytime someone accesses your page - I wouldn't mind if it were just a few people, but dozens if not hundreds people have done so, and each of those pages is accessed 100's of times a day, causing thousands of requests to these images.

DO NOT HOT-LINK ANY BACKGROUND IMAGE DIRECT.

Click on it, download it yourself, use it as background image or host the image on your web-site, and reference it there.

I have now included a filter which blocks hot-linked requests - if I still see hot-linked requests circumventing my filter will lead to the removal of this page and all images.

Below some of my favourite backgrounds (1280x1024 and 1920x1440 JPEG) I composed from photo/picture-material found on the net and composed together with The GIMP:
