A windows unlock screen image of a ravine from my old computer
Hello,
My old computer died near the end of 2024. A few months before it did, one of the automatic updates of the unlock screen showed an image of a ravine that I really liked. I did not set this image myself; it was one of the automatic ones powered by Bing or Microsoft or WindowsOS or something. That's probably the biggest advantage we have in the search; I know with 100% certainty that it was an official Microsoft/Bing/Windows photo that was automatically put onto people's computers, because that is how I was first exposed to it.
The picture showed a deep ravine that probably went 100+ feet down, with giant stone sides surrounding a river running through them. It was an aerial shot from one of the two sides of the ravine, looking down into it, and the ravine ran horizontally through the photo. It was from an isometric angle of about 45 degrees (though my memory might be off on the exact angle). There was a boat (I think a rusty red color, but I'm not 100% sure) framed in the middle of the ravine, but because the camera was so far away, it looked very small in the picture.
I've tried looking through various free archives of official Bing wallpaper, and the closest image I could find was this one:
But it wasn't this one. Compared to the picture above, the one I'm thinking of had much larger and rockier sides, and the angle of the shot was slightly different; it wasn't shot from directly overhead; it was looking down at an angle instead of shot from straight above.
I also found this one:
On this one, the general look of the ravine (size/shape of the rocks and trees along the sides) is very similar to the photo on my old computer, but this one is shot from the wrong angle (straight into it instead of from the side) and from too low in the sky.
I tried searching through a bunch of archives, and then I thought that maybe this is the type of thing this sub will be very good at helping with. With any luck, it might be the unlock screen image on your pc right now. My computer was an Acer PC, and I believe my OS was Windows 10 at the time my computer died, though it might have been updated to 11 at some point. I also promise to monitor this thread throughout today and respond with specifics regarding how any guess attempts differ from my memory of the picture I'm trying to find.
Thank you
