The photographs on this site were made by other people and shared under licences that permit reuse. Every one is listed here with its photographer, its source and its licence, so you can check any of it independently.

All files were resized and recompressed for the web. Nothing else was altered — no cropping that changes what the photograph shows, no colour work, no compositing.

Listings without a photograph show generated artwork instead of a stock image, so you are never looking at a picture of somewhere else.
