What these images show

Photographs provide place and subject context. They are not current property listings, evidence of safety or proof that an activity is open. Historical images and botanical illustrations are labeled as such; some modern place photographs were taken several years ago.

Each image below links to its source record and license. Web versions are resized and converted to WebP; layout crops can vary. Creative Commons share-alike images and their resized versions remain available under the stated license, not a new restrictive site license.

No stock portraits are used to represent fictional customers, professionals or event hosts in this edition. Captions avoid identifying an exact neighborhood or species unless the source record supports it.
