Hi all,

I am hoping someone knows exactly where I can find a wallpaper picture I had previously.

The picture is from space the sun peeking from behind the earth making a thin creasent strip of sunlight.

Thank you.

Hmm, not sure what wallpaper you mean, was it a Fedora wallpaper by any chance?

I was using Edubuntu 7.10 upgraded to 8.04 online.
The picture just appeared in my wallpaper folder.
I tried to check my homemade iso 8.04 Hardy CD for it but worried that I may corrupt my existing OS.
And I do no know where on the disk to look.

I will try all suggestions to find the picture.

It's called a "Sunrise". Try searching google for images with the terms sunrise and space.

If you've got a few minutes, you might just check out www.socwall.com (http://www.socwall.com/) (where I found the image... and a bunch of others that they probably don't have rights to). They seem to have quite a few nice ones. And then, of course, there's always http://interfacelift.com (http://interfacelift.com/). Good stuff...
