RSS photo feeds for screen saver

I have been trying to find a few good RSS photo feeds to add to the screensaver in Leopard but am not having any luck. The only one I could find was a Rolling Stone mag feed (http://www.rollingstone.com/rssxml/photos.xml) but the pics are really low res and display horribly. There must be other photo feeds to subscribe to. Anyone know a resource to check out or any personal favorites?

iMac Intel, MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I was having a similar problem, the feed I wanted did not work in the "Mobile Me and RSS" photo screensaver. The website I wanted was I was trying the link This is the link used by Safari and when used as a screensaver, it returns the error message "+Your selected subscriptions have no pictures...+" When you click the RSS link on the page it takes you to which when used in photo screensaver works fine.

Similarly, Flickr feeds produce the same error. Perhaps the 'Mobile Me and RSS' photo screensaver requires feeds that contain photo data only. A subsequent question would be: how might one alter a desired RSS feed to contain only such graphical data? It would be a shame to let this wonderful capability go to waste.

Anybody any luck yet ?

i did made a rss photofeed in Picasaweb,

With picasa you (ore someone else) can receive pictures by e-mail, they automatically appear in my screensaver.
This works on my iMac but not on my mac mini, both computers are using the same software.
So .. maybe it's just a bug and hopefully fixed by the next update :-\
