Snow Trees

Snow Trees, originally known as Snowy Tree, is a wallpaper included in Windows 2000 and ME, licensed from PhotoDisc. It was taken by Hans Wiesenhofer. It depicts a snowy tree in front of a forest of snowy trees, presumably in Austria, the country Wiesenhofer lived in until his death in 2012. Although Getty Images refused to give out his name for privacy reasons when asked who took the photo, it was eventually discovered that the image is included on PhotoDisc CD The Signature Series: Colors, a whole CD dedicated to Wiesenhofer’s images. Also included on this CD is another picture of a snowy forest.
