The photo you see is the default wallpaper for Windows XP - is probably one of the most recognizable image in the world. It’s a real photo, called Bliss, taken by Charles “Chuck” O’Rear in 1996, as Chuck was driving through northern California’s wine growing territory. He was on his way to see his then-girlfriend Daphne (now his wife), and then sold to Microsoft for an undisclosed sum (but it was apparently one of the highest prices ever paid for a single photo. And that's how it looks like today in 2020. � Charles O' Rear Sonoma County, California In a nutshell, rather than taking pictures of yourself to occupy unnecessary space in your phone, make good use of your environment. ©Amostasis
