This is not the real view from my house - but neither is it a Zoom background…

@adders Is this like one of the riddles Bilbo would ask Gollum in the modern reboot? (Gollum would be so frustrated by this one, since he wouldn’t have heard of Zoom: having been under the mountain for so long, he still uses Skype.)

@rnv @pratik It's wallpaper! My wife decided to use it to brighten and "open up" a corner of our living room a few years ago, but it make for a perfect backdrop for Zoom sessions.

@adders Wow. Love it. I have some wallpaper that looks like old bookshelves that I’ve been looking for a place to use. Hmmmm....

@adders that is just brilliant!

@adders Wow! Looks very real. Much better than a virtual background. @rnv

@adders beautiful background though 😉

@tibz Sez the only person on micro.blog to have seen the real view from my house. :-)

@adders Okay, how did you set the background then?

@Alligator It’s actual wallpaper. On the wall. It’s been there a few years.

@adders and it’s actually a great view :) Good times!
