Good source for geography photos?

[Ry]

Good day; I was given a suggestion in my "New campaign design" thread to look at Australia for the geographical features I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can get good pictures of different vistas in neat natural locations? I realized I was interested in this for world-building in general, rather than just Australia.

First stop for images is always google image search:

*Results 1 - 20 of about 1,470,000 for Australia *

check out this one:

if you just want to see photos, any clip art site should have tons. for example, here's some shots of australia, and for more general pics, this was the first hit from google for natural clip art

also try google images. it should be easy to find more pictures than you could ever want.

I might need these myself.

Another good map source is trail/hiking maps, don't know if there are any for Australia but a quick google search should let you know.

GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been screaming about this for a while with little response. It's my new best friend. For the campaign I'm working on, I plan to have a page on campaign website full of thumbnails of pics to give the players a feel for what the setting looks like. It's great for bringing your vision to life as well as an amazing source for new ideas.
