Orange canyon

Orange canyon, originally known as Mitten Buttes in Monument Valley, is a sample picture included in Windows XP Release Candidate 1 builds 2474 to 2475, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Danny Lehman, who also took XP Starter Edition's Tulum. It depicts a few mitten buttes in Monument Valley, Colorado Plateau, USA. Out of the five sample pictures added in build 2474, it was the only vertical one. This could likely explain why it was removed even earlier than the other RC1 sample pictures, being replaced with Sail by build 2481.

It would later appear on a photo frame icon in a Longhorn UI demo circa 2002, although cropped to a square and is much brighter looking.
