Sorry to gush. I just really appreciate this sub and all the cool people who post these great photos.

I like to imagine there was a universe where this specific photo was the XP wallpaper.

Looks like something an ai would make

This is just surreal. Love it!

Hate to tell you but there is some light photoshopping

The OG is in Sanoma, CA. https://nypost.com/2021/02/26/man-finds-exact-location-of-infamous-windows-xp-background/

May I ask where specifically in the Dolomites? I might go looking for it

This is actually from Seceda. Probably if you’d look right you could see the famous peaks 😊

I thought it might have been Seceda, but usually pictures are taken form a different perspective so I wasn't sure (and identifying mountains is much easier than identifying meadows)

What's the green stuff? It's hard to tell the scale from the photo. Could be moss, grass, or even trees.

only the background music by Stan Lepard is missing.

It's XP welcome sound...

Pictures you can hear

My sister and I visited the Dolomites with a family that needed nannies during a ski trip in the 80's. The parents skied in the mornings and paid for us to take ski lessons in the afternoons.

We were a couple of newbies but the Dolomites made us feel like we were in the big leagues. Even the bunny slopes were surrounded by mountains, only reachable by gondola...unforgettable.

Everyone was bilingual up there--Italian and German, and I guess they didn't see many Americans in that part of Italy. The shopkeepers would see our freckles, hear our terrible Italian, and try to help us out by switching to German. We would understand nothing, respond in Italian, and explain that we were American. Then they would get all excited and happy and welcome us to Canazei. This happened every time we ordered apple strudel, all week long. It was pretty awesome to travel to Europe at a time when so many people truly loved Americans.

Just reading the first sentence, I thought you were memeing. "Am Redditor, I never go outside"

Made me laugh.

I just wanna take a nap there. Looks so....quiet.

Twas a simple time..

Looking for the Teletubbies

The actual Windows XP background photo was taken in Sonoma, California according to Atlas Obscura

Love that part of the world!

Take a picture of a no-cloud blue sky for the Vista/8/10/11 experience

I see battle droids and Gungans fighting here…

Cool! I'm wondering about it before.

It's relaxing. I love seeing this stuff.

Wow this is a nice picture for wallpaper
