Trio of Friends Make Challenging Hike Across Catalina Island to Recreate the macOS Catalina Wallpaper

Oh, I get it! It's a kind of religious quest.

It's like walking to Lhasa and doing laps around the ancient temple, prostrating yourself every few yards. Millions do things like that and I would never criticize them.

For the photo of the shoreline of Catalina, wouldn't it have been easier to take a boat to the tip and launch the drone from there?

Watch the actual video and consider editing your post.

A few months ago, YouTuber and photographer Andrew Levitt teamed up with his friends Jacob Phillips and Taylor Gray on a one-week road trip to try to recreate all of Apple's default wallpapers included in macOS.

Just a few weeks after the video, Apple publicly released macOS Catalina, giving Levitt and his friends one more wallpaper to recreate. The task was more challenging this time, however, as the default macOS Catalina wallpaper showcases the remote, northern tip of Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California.

To get there, Levitt and his friends took a ferry to Catalina Island and hiked over eight hours across the island, complete with camping gear and other supplies.

The trio of friends eventually reached the tip of the island and, despite windy conditions, managed to capture a nearly identical version of the default macOS Catalina wallpaper with a drone.

On the hike back to the ferry terminal, Levitt and his friends were stopped by a police officer and learned that hiking at night on Catalina Island is apparently forbidden. Fortunately, the police officer was kind and merely escorted them back to the other side of the island. All in all, a fascinating video.

Here's the original video:

This was one of the most interesting items that I have seen on MacRumors in some time. Way to go to Levitt and his buddies.

I want these wallpapers! Will they release them?

Why? It is not gonna work anyway as there’s a bug with picture screensavers at the moment in Monterey. Will be fixed when Tim showcases new colors of HomePods in late 2022

or some people are able to enjoy life in a way that doesn’t involve a 9-5 desk job...

Or some people have money so they don’t have to work and can spend their time recreating the photos. Just wondering why?

For fun. This took them a week or two. Ever take a vacation?
