Bliss is the default computer wallpaper for the Windows XP operating system, captured by photographer Charles O'Rear in 1996 in Sonoma County, California. The image, known for its unedited lush green hills and vibrant blue sky, became an icon of early 2000s computing and is arguably the most-viewed photograph in history. In internet culture, Bliss is often used to evoke feelings of nostalgia, peace, or 'liminal space' aesthetics. It frequently appears in memes where the peaceful landscape is juxtaposed with chaotic elements, modern error messages, or surreal edits that subvert the viewer's childhood memories of sitting in front of a bulky CRT monitor.
