Forest of Redwood Trees

Forest of Redwood Trees is a wallpaper that was allegedly used in a Longhorn demo, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Mark Karrass, who also took images used in Windows XP such as Ascent, Blue hills and Winter. It depicts a forest of redwood trees at Muir Woods National Monument, California, USA. It is no longer officially available on Getty Images and other stock photo sites with the exception of Photononstop. A high res version is available from Corbis CD Nature and Landscapes, which also has Winter at a high resolution; as a result it has been unofficially mirrored to many microstock websites.

It is currently not known where this wallpaper was used, however it is a Corbis stock photo so there is still a chance it is official. A sharp-looking 1024x768 version has been spread under the unofficial name, Aero Woods.
