MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where was the famous sky & grass Windows XP desktop photo taken?

You probably used to stare at it every day when you got to work. That default desktop photo on Windows XP. You know the one… with the sky and grass. But where was the actual photo taken?

The famous photo is from Napa Valley, California. The funny part is that only looks like it does in the photo because an insect infestation had wiped out all of the grapevines in the area. Leaving that sprawling grass look.
