Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves, originally known as Maple in Autumn, is a sample picture included in Windows Vista, licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Peter Miller. It depicts branches of a maple tree leaning over a field, with the sun present. It is unknown exactly where it was taken, as its Getty page does not specify its location. It was most likely taken in Vermont, the state Miller lives in. It became a restricted asset in early 2020 when Getty discontinued rights-managed licensing in favor of royalty free licensing; it was not converted to royalty free, so it was taken down in late 2020.

Trivia

 * It shares its name with the original title of Windows XP wallpaper, Autumn.
