Probably hard to read in the screen capture, but it turns out that Bing Image Search was right all along. That’s easily done by searching on the Taskbar for “ dynamic” and clicking “Dynamic Theme” when suggested. It’s then I decide on a completely different tact let’s try opening up Dynamic Desktop itself. Google doesn’t do as well, however:īasically, it says that they’re trees, not noticing the carvings and totems at all. Go to and click on the tiny camera icon, then select the screen capture. Let’s try Google image search instead!įor that it’s the same process. The location makes sense, an island off the Pacific coast of Canada, but the photo seems all wrong.
A click on the “Looks Like” tab, however, and at least we can read about this location: It’s suggesting Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off of Canada, but the small photo definitely doesn’t look like what I uploaded. It instantly uploads and compares results, suggesting: Since I took a screen capture (with Windows+Shift+S, my favorite keyboard shortcut in Win10) it’s easy to drag and drop the resultant file onto this pop-up window. Go to and click on the tiny camera icon on the right side of the search input field…Īs you can see, it lets you drag and drop an image file, paste an image or even take a photo, if you’re so inclined. That narrows down the possible location (as does the lush green environment) but still, where is this stand of totems?Īs a first attempt you can simply take a screenshot and search for that image directly on Bing. It’s definitely stunning:Īs you can see, it’s a group of tree stubs that have been carved into totems. Still, let’s start there, with the image I have as today’s desktop wallpaper on my own PC.
The standard way to identify the location of images on the Internet is to use image search, but sometimes that doesn’t work either. If it’s on the lock screen, there’s typically some additional information superimposed over the image, but if you never log out or log in, you never see that information. You can learn how to enable it here: Explore the world one photo at a time.
Bing does such a great job of supplying interesting, vibrant and colorful wallpaper images on your PC that I can’t really imagine anyone who would just stick with the stock Windows “window” or even “grassy hillside” desktop image.
