i always wanted that as a background but could never find it anywhere. good luck.

Go out and take one?

They're pretty standard landscape styled photos...

Yeah. I know you might think that sounds like a stupid suggestion, but I don't think that photo is particularly special, so it's only a matter of taking a photo of something with the source of light facing the camera directly, creating a silhouette of the subject.

I have lots of photos like that that can be used as desktop backgrounds, but not that particular photo.

Sunset silhouette?

Here's one of mine for you:

Technically, its a sunrise, not a sunset, but you don't have to tell anyone

well actually i just wanted to know where i could find those official photos which apple uses because they all look so pretty and proffesional. is it not in apple official desktops?

it would make iphoto look so much better with those pretty pics

They're more than likely stock photos you can buy online.

I seem to remember people finding the photo they used in some of their other product shots sometime ago.

Um...

nevermind misunderstood you

They have some of the Apple desktops posted here, but not the one you're looking for. Maybe email them?

That's not even a desktop - that's iPhoto 6 in full-screen mode.

Apple probably buys the rights to the photos from a photographer. For those without the deep pockets or a camera, you can try the stock photo sites. Here are some similar pics at bigstockphoto.com:

(Or scour sites like pbase)

I'll bet you that Apple paid for an exclusive license for those. They would not want a competitor to being using the same image. If it was a stock image it would not be available anymore.

Yes iPhoto would look nice if it were filled with profesional images but then that would be useless. The point of iPhoto is to catalog your images
