I have yet another wallpaper image to id. It's /usr/share/backgrounds/Lake_Sunset-190630_resized.jpg.
@CharlesV id'ed the last one I inquired about. That one was Leh in north India, not a place I'd ever get to see. This one is a place I easily could ask a realtor about for retirement property, lol.
Sometimes I'll keep a wallpaper for years on end. But conky has a way of ruining that. If I can't read the characters easily, it's time for a new background...

Wow that was fast! I figured it was in the west with the sparse vegetation.

We try to have member-created wallpapers for the majority of the collection.
IIRC, in MX23, the only 3rd party free-to-use wallpaper in the collection was the library shelf of books (connection with release name Libretto). And even there, CharlesV did contribute some of his own pictures of books on shelves for the dev team's consideration.
:-)

Geology note! Those hills on the opposite lake shore are some of the huge blocks of an ancestral Mount Shasta that suffered what volcano-knowing-guys-and-gals refer to as an "edifice collapse". i.e. a ginormous landslide carried those huge chunks there about 350K years ago. The slide deposit extends many miles past what we see on the lakeshore, too. It makes Mt. St. Helens' collapse look small in comparison.
