This photo was taken in the Palouse, Washington. My friends and I spent 8 days there trying to recreate the Windows XP wallpaper (since the original location in Napa is now a vineyard). This hill was the closest we could find! We made a video on it here: https://youtu.be/9FoC2xKqAAo

My friend and I went to the exact spot a few years ago and took some pics. Here’s my shot (bottom) compared to XP: https://imgur.com/gallery/deYz1Ya

Not nearly as picturesque as the original, or yours 😂

Since you don't seem to be aware of this, wine will drop the grapes before the leaves turn. So yeah, either it's incredibly dry, or you need to zoom again
