This is the most famous landscape picture in the world and is the one Microsoft choose for the default desktop in Windows XP. Surprisingly this is a real place and the picture has not been modified nor edited.

It was shot by Charles O'Rear nel 1996 in Sonoma County, California.

The hill is now a vineyard but you can still go to visit it at these coordinates: Google Earth: 38.250124,-122.410817.
