Looking for Autumn...

I just noticed this on Engadget.

A Vanity Fair writer named Nick Tosches set off on a seemingly quixotic quest to find the origin of the Windows wallpaper "Autumn".

Eventually, through many twists and turns (and some apparent arm twisting by a senior photo editor at VF), he was able to discover the name of the photographer, and from him (and some interesting detective work by some locals) he was able to find the original location of the photo.

 

An awesome read.
