It's one of the background choices for Linux Mint. I tried doing a reverse Google image search and found this website, but it doesn't say where it was taken.

You can eventually follow the link you sent out to the photographer's Flickr website:

In the discussion area, it looks to be from an area in Te Mata Peak in Havelock North, New Zealand.

Here's a similar view from Google Earth (you can see the exact coordinates in the lower right corner). It looks like the photographer used a wide angle lens and the sunrise really brings out the contours of the valley floor.
