I've been pretty impressed by some of the photos which are displayed when you restart from sleep. This one of a bridge looks impossible, but I'm sure it's a real place - does anyone have a clue where it is?

Any more favourites?

    ^^ Ooo not seen that one, I like the one which appears to be shot at the foot of a narrow stair way, with the steps heading up.

    If you are using Chrome. right click on the photo -> "search Google for image" leads you to

    The famous norwegian national road 64 (Rv64), aka The Atlantic Road, before sunset. An 8km road build on several small islands, spanned by eight bridges and several landfills along the Atlantic.

    Wow! thanks for that information. I tried all sorts of Google tricks to find it without success.

    Actually, I can't see any way to find out what a lock screen photo is directly. The only way your "right click and use Google" would work is if you have taken a snap of the screen (like I did) and saved it.

    A very small selection appears to be stored in C:\Windows\Web\Screen.
