I think it's a co-incidence, for me it shows snow capped mountains, and I'm in San Francisco. We don't have mountains, or snow anywhere short of driving a few hours.


In Seattle it shows a snow-capped volcano (Mount Rainier), an illustrated version of the Space Needle, the Pike Place Market sign, and a couple downtown buildings from the viewpoint of Kerry Park[1]. They have a generic rotation of images plus some location-specific ones. I'd love to see the whole collection laid out somewhere.

It's location based, but if it can't access the network or the location for some reason, it uses snow capped mountains as a placeholder.
