"Bliss" by Charles O'Rear is probably one of the most famous photos in the world. It shows a bright blue sky and a green meadow - its perfection and simplicity made the picture the default wallpaper of Windows XP.

Correction:
▪️ In the video I locate the Windows XP meadow in Napa Valley. Strictly speaking, the wine hill already belongs to Sonoma County, which directly borders it. An annoying mistake - but this doesn't change the story itself. Sonoma and Napa faced the same challenges.
