It's an Autumnal version of the Windows XP wallpaper!
At first sight it's a vineyard but I guess that's far too obvious and not what you're looking for.
This is the autumn version of the famous windows wallpaper bliss.

It is the Windows XP default wallpaper as it appears in the fall.
It is the background that Microsoft used as a Windows background...except it is a different time of year where the fields are not green and the sky is overcast.
My guess is that it's an apple orchard in the Okanogan area of North-Central Washington. We drove through there in late summer of this year, and there are many places that look exactly like that.

It's the Bliss wallpaper years later because there is some growth not seen in the original.
This is a garbage landfill, possibly just outside a major city.
Its a picture titled "After Microsoft" by Goldin and Senneby and is the same location photographed for the original and most distributed image ever called Bliss - included in Windows XP as the default desktop walpaper.
It's probably what everybody says - the "bliss" hillside. But it also looks a lot like the hillside used in the mid-90's Apple print ad, "Can You See It?", which was an ironic name because I don't think anyone saw it. I was working in an all-Mac architecture firm at the time and Apple's ad firm advance team spent a day in our office taking pictures of our architectural models and renderings and such. We were excited! When the tube with the ad in it arrived we all gathered around to see which of our projects was going to be basking in the Apple advertisement spotlight. The image was of a grassy knoll just like this one, with the headline "Can you see it?" at the bottom. The copy went on to explain that my firm could, indeed, see it. Because we use Macs. Right.

It's the XP source image that's been "Californicated" to show a vineyard instead of the grassy slope.
How about a Chinese burial mound for some emperor whose name I forgot.
It's the future home of the Mike Elgan hall of fame.
It's the same location as the Windows XP theme, but after a vineyard has taken the place of the alfalfa field.
I think it's the city (i don't remember the name) from the WW2 were the government hided/covered it under a really big camouflage blanket.
