If you're a Windows user, you're probably familiar with the iconic Bliss wallpaper from Windows XP. It's the idyllic green hill with a clear blue sky that has been the default background for millions of desktops. But did you know that there are actually 13 different versions of this wallpaper? That's right, Microsoft commissioned 13 different photographers to capture their own interpretation of the blissful landscape. And we've rounded up the best of the best for you on Dorkly Post.

First up is the original Bliss wallpaper, taken by photographer Charles O'Rear in Sonoma County, California. It's the epitome of serenity and simplicity, and it's no wonder it became a fan favorite. But don't stop there, because we've got 12 more stunning versions for you to admire.

Next, we have the stormy take on Bliss by photographer Adam Hart-Davis. The dark clouds and dramatic lighting add an intense energy to the otherwise peaceful landscape. And for all you animal lovers out there, we've got a version featuring a herd of sheep grazing on the hill, captured by photographer Tim Brookes.

But it's not just real-life photographs that made the cut. We've also included some digital interpretations, such as the Lego version by photographer Mike Stimpson and the Minecraft version by artist Jennifer Hom.

But wait, there's more! We also have a version featuring a giant inflatable duck, a parody version with a Windows logo on the hill, and even a Star Wars-themed version. Plus, you'll find behind-the-scenes facts and stories about each version to add some extra intrigue and fun.
