The Most Popular Image In The World. Then And Now

When you see something dozens of times you do not notice it as something unusual. The same happens with most popular image in the world. I think everyone has seen at least once.

 The most popular image in the world sat as wallpaper on millions of computers worldwide. It's about photography called "Bliss" by those from Microsoft.

Although it looks perfect, this place even exists, and is not - as many have thought - in Ireland, but in California, in Sonoma County.

Charles O'Rear is the photographer who captured this beautiful landscape 15 years ago, but unfortunately there do not look the same now.

Green fields are now covered with weeds and vines, but from one angle, which can be seen using Google Maps (at coordinates 38.248966, -122.410269) resembles wallpaper landscape photographed 15 years ago.
