But have you ever wondered how did the wallpaper originate?
The image is actually an front view of the place captured by photographer Charles O´Rear who also worked for National Geographic. The desktop wallpaper is named as Bliss and he captured it on his way to California’s Napa Valley with an ordinary camera. Thanks to Alpoma for sharing the information!
