Stonehenge

Stonehenge, originally known as Stonehenge by Moonlight, is a wallpaper included in Windows XP, licensed from Corbis. It was taken by Roger Ressmeyer on November 12, 1989, who also took Radiance and Windows 2000's Solar Eclipse. It depicts the monument Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England at night, despite the sky looking rather clear. It was part of a series of photos, which includes ones that are more obviously at night. It is also worth noting that the Getty Images version (possibly rescanned?) is noticeably brighter looking compared to the original Corbis version used in XP. As of 2020 it can no longer be licensed, as Getty have not converted it from the now discontinued rights-managed to royalty free.

Stonehenge itself would later appear in a Longhorn stonehenge wallpaper used in a few UI demos, along with Windows 7's GB-wp1 used in the British version.
