Try using a relative path instead. Relative meaning that its relative to where the HTML file is saved.

For example, if your HTML file is saved in the same folder as your background image, then you would put:

<body background="blue ciel water.jpg">

if the picture is in a sub-folder called images, you would put:

<body background="images/blue ciel water.jpg">

If you are going to put this image on your website, it is a good idea NOT to use spaces, but underscores instead. For example, try renaming your file as blue_ciel_water.jpg.

Hope this helps,

P.S.: If you dont understand completely, i can help you some more.
