Every MS Windows user will be knowing the default Windows wallpaper, Bliss (The blue sky, the green hill and small white clouds, remember?). The wallpaper which was introduced for Windows XP, as default, is pretty popular among Windows users.
Going to the history of this wallpaper, this photograph was shot by
Charles O’ Rear, who works for a company named HighTurn. This photograph
was taken in 1996 – which is around five years before XP was released.
O’ Rear wanted to photograph the wine making on that hill but,
unfortunately at that time there was no grapevines
on that hill.
The photograph Bliss, inspired a Windows XP’s advertising campaign
called “Yes You Can” and thus the photograph entered into the XP home screen.
Later, in November 2006, artist collaboration Goldin & Senneby
re-photographed the same site, from the same location. This time, it was
full of Grapevines. Check the two pics below.
Oh, and did I tell you where the Bliss image was taken? The Bliss image was taken 3050 Fremont Dr. (Sonoma Hwy.), Sonoma, CA.
Well, nothing much useful here. Just some information. Hope you liked this post! Thank you!
