The default desktop of Windows XP is Bliss. The photo was taken in Sonoma County, California, USA 1996. The southern part of Sonoma Valley is near the former site of Clover Stornetta, a dairy company. Bliss's name comes from the rolling green hills, blue sky, layered and rolling white clouds in this place. This picture was used by Microsoft as the desktop wallpaper of luna theme in XP. This photo was taken by professional photographer Charles O 'lear (from St. Helena, Napa County) for digital design company HighTurn. O 'lear also worked for Bill Gates' private photo storage company Cobis in Seattle, and he also produced photos of Napa Valley in the May 1979 issue of National Geographic magazine. At first, O'Rear's main energy was spent on taking photos of Napa Valley wine industry, but at that time, there were no vines growing on Bliss Mountain in the late 1990s.
