“Bliss” is the default computer wallpaper of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system. It is a virtually unedited photograph in the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area of California’s Wine Country. The photo was taken by Charles O’Rear in January 1996 and Microsoft bought the rights in 2000. It is estimated that billions of people have seen the picture, possibly making it one of the most viewed photographs in history. - Sonoma Valley, California - 1996/2000. @Microsoft @Windows - Find out MORE at AllAboutLosAngeles.com #americanhistory #napavalley #napa #photo #photography #iconic #california #computers #computer #xp #background #northerncalifornia #sonomacounty #sonomavalley #sonoma #beforeandafter #thenandnow #historic #history #popculture #1996 #2000 #microsoftwindows #windowsxp #windows #microsoft #bliss #photographer #bayarea #explore #history #history #bliss #historybuff #historytok #wallpaper #background #fyp
