The picture is great but I'm really sorry Sorgalim I need to pass this onto you:

This is
very definitely
a scene you will never get to see in person — not on planet earth,
anyway — because it's physically impossible for the moon to appear so
much larger than the sun when they are seen together with the naked
eye. Why? Because, given their relative distances from the earth, the
moon and the sun subtend the same angle
in the sky, which is a fancy astrophysical way of saying that from our
earthly vantage point they should always appear to be of equal size.

Granted, there is a famous optical illusion
by virtue of which either heavenly body may seem somewhat larger than
usual when it appears close to the horizon, but that is obviously not
the explanation for the disparity seen here. We can only conclude that
this is a computer-generated image or photo-realistic painting of an
imaginary landscape, not an actual photograph.

The folks at Snopes.com have traced its likely origin to a German artist named
Inga Nielsen, who apparently created it using Terragen, a program for generating background scenery for games, etc.

Great wallpaper thought, I had it for more than a year as such.
