Snowflake

snowflake, originally known as Snowflakes, is a user account picture included in Windows XP, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Jim Zuckerman, who also took various other wallpapers used in editions of XP. It depicts a snowflake on a blue background. The original image features two more snowflakes present on the same background, while Zuckerman also took a similar one featuring more snowflakes and a darker blue background.

Along with fish, it is one of the only images that was licensed under a rights-managed license at the time, as it originates from Westlight. It was briefly taken down from Getty Images in January 2020, along with many other photos, due to Getty discontinuing rights-managed licenses. However, it returned as a royalty free image, oddly being placed in The Image Bank collection along with other Westlight photos.
