It would have been great to have a photo of a real landscape from Greece, perhaps, but in the absence people worked on a photomanip using free sources. I think this background is not too dissimilar from the Fedora 7 background of clouds, sunset, mist, and a set of balloons. I liked the previous releases' concentration on a motif as opposed to a more realistic scene, but I also like the idea of having new directions now and then.
