Steve Miller's Joker lyrics came into my head suddenly... "I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree".

That is fabulous.

It's done in photoshop propably... Look at the sides of the hip for example. Or it's an 3D model with textures.

...and these are just from the first google-image page or two.

obviously someone had to take the photo, but given its ubiquity years before you posted it here, im just skeptical, i guess...

LOL, no kidding. This photograph has been making the rounds for years!

Peter, we know you live in New York but don't be so skeptical! Maybe Norway is a magical land where a) the day time sky is always the exact same shade of blue and b) any item photo noteworthy has a 'stand here to shoot' spot that causes SO many people to take what appears to be the same exact photograph.

What, it could happen -- have you been to Norway to disprove this? I think not.
