This classic wallpaper of Windows XP is called Bliss, which is translated into bliss in Chinese. Bliss was photographed by American photographer Charles O 'lear.

Charles O'Rear works for HighTurn Digital Design Company and took this photo in Sonoma, California on 1996. At that time, Charles lived in Napa County. One day, while driving home, he came across such a picture: there were some stratus clouds and high clouds floating in the blue sky, under which were beautiful rolling hills covered with green grass, and a touch of distant mountains was exposed on the right side of the picture. Charles was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him and pressed the shutter in time to present "bliss" to people all over the world.

Later, the picture taken by Charles was taken by Microsoft and sold to Microsoft for $2 million.
