TREE AT THE FOUR SEASONS IN WINTER

TREE AT THE FOUR SEASONS IN WINTER is a wallpaper used in a Longhorn UI demo, licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Andre Gallant, who also took the final pre-reset Longhorn default wallpaper and Windows Vista Starter's img725. It depicts a tree at what is most likely Canada during wintertime. It was part of a series of images on Getty Images, which also includes the spring version used in later pre-reset Longhorn builds, 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.
