Longhorn WinHEC 2004 build, builds 4083-4093 default wallpaper

The default wallpaper of Longhorn in builds 4069 and 4083-4093. Originally known as TREE, THE FOUR SEASONS IN SPRING, it was licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Andre Gallant, who also took TREE AT THE FOUR SEASONS IN WINTER (used in a Longhorn demo) and Windows Vista Starter's img725. It depicts a tree at what is most likely Canada during springtime. The version used in Longhorn has noticeably been heavily cropped, making the tree take up more of the wallpaper. The image also appears as a wallpaper option in a post-reset Longhorn demo, albeit with a more saturated sky and less cropped compared to the version used in builds.

It was part of a series of images on Getty Images, which also includes the winter version used in a Longhorn demo, along with a summer version, an autumn version, an alternate shot of the autumn version and a vertical shot of an unrelated tree in Tuscany, Italy. The series became restricted assets in early 2020 when Getty discontinued rights-managed licensing in favor of royalty free licensing; they were not converted to royalty free, so they were taken down in late 2020.
