Anyone who wants a small JPEG of the scene - as it looked this year - just send me a note : pkburian at gmail com That autumn scene is not available in Vista, as far as I know.

Funny though how I never knew that picture existed in windows until today. Guess I should pay more attention to the BGs that come with it I love posting on old posts :)

And I corresponded with the current owners of the property and they agree that I did find the right spot. P.S.

In the winter photo that I took, check out the barn. The trees and fence have changed; it's five years later. Trees have died, the fence is gone, etc. Peter Burian Well, I am sure I found the right spot. In the winter photo that I took, check out the barn.

The only place that shows up along Side Road 8 is this property: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.425918,-79.929351&spn=0.001703,0.003326&t=h&z=18 But in truth, I'm not entirely convinced that the photographer DID find the same spot. The fence in the winter picture taken now is completely different from the autumn one in the wallpaper...

The angles are all wrong to line up with either the house or seperate garage/barn in the link... Put the two images side by side on your desktop if you don't believe me. Carl (Well done to Nick for finding the general area though!)
