I can't address the visuals directly, however, my teenaged daughter says it
shows the earth from space.

I'm finding that the descriptions I get don't match the background image
selected. For instance, the image of the earth from space is given as "photo of
mountains in the distance during twilight with water in the foreground". Am I
alone in getting this?

This may seem self-evident to some, but I am not a first adopter and not a
confident tech person.
Before my IPad got updated to the newest OS release, the wallpaper had
shown a field of stars. The new OS apparently didn't offer this choice, so, in
an excellent example of learned helplessness, I asked the store rep to change
the wallpaper for me to what would be the closest to the field of stars. After
all, in other mainstream applications, I couldn't make such adjustments.
When I got home, I opened the IPad settings and found wallpaper and opened
it, just to see what would happen. I was one of the most surprised and
delighted blind users in the universe to find that the wallpaper views were
described.
I took the chance and selected the view of earth from space myself, and
returned to the home screen. My sighted daughter confirmed that I had indeed
selected this view as my home screen wallpaper. My daughter sounded surprised
and delighted that I could accomplish something she and I both had previously
considered the province of the fully sighted.
Thank you, whoever you are, with Apple's structure and development teams,
for discernment and vision in your ideas of what blind users can or should be
able to do.
