Mossy Waterfall
A slim waterfall slips over a dark ledge into a pool lined with moss. The water keeps falling; touch the pool and it answers.
Moving water
The waterfall runs steadily, mist drifts at its foot and rings cross the pool. Nothing flashes. Sound plays only if you start with it.
What you can do here
- Change the flow
- Flow runs from a thin trickle to a full fall. The water moves faster, the pool below gets busier, and the sound of the falls rises with it.
- Touch the pool
- Tap the water and a ring spreads from where you touched, bending your view of the stones on the bottom. It meets the rings coming from the falls and passes through them.
- Raise the mist
- Mist thickens the spray that hangs where the water lands, and brings up the sound of the air in the hollow.

- Some wallpaper apps can show a web page behind your desktop icons. Give one the live link above and the scene runs there on its own: no page around it, no ads and no sound.
- On a TV or a spare screen
- Open this page and press F, or use Fullscreen. While it’s in fullscreen we ask the browser to keep the screen from going to sleep.
- On a phone or tablet
- Save image downloads exactly what’s on the screen as a picture. Set it as your wallpaper from your photos; the phone will crop the sides.
A live wallpaper keeps a page running all day. Through the live link the scene draws at most 30 frames a second and stops while the screen is covered, but on a laptop it still costs some battery.
How the falling water moves
The picture holds one frozen moment of the falls. To make it run, each strand is redrawn from a little higher up, a few pixels further every frame, in two passes that take turns, so the loop never shows a jump. Bright streaks slide down on top, faster when you turn up the flow.
About the sounds
Two recordings and one quiet layer: the waterfall itself, a single drop close to the rock edge when you touch the pool, and the open air of a garden. The drop waits four seconds between plays, so tapping fast never piles it up.
