Three of the shots were taken in California, and the majority capture the natural world. They join the existing 18 released in October of 2021 in what is hopefully an annual occurrence. Again, these photographs come from Googlers.

We’re seeing these new Community Lens wallpapers today on Google phones as far back as the Pixel 4. If Curated Culture serves as any indication, these latest backgrounds should be available as far back as the Pixel 3.
