Photo credits and licences

Why these photographs are here

The photographs on this site are used to show what the ground in this part of the Commonwealth actually looks like. That means pasture, hay, fence lines, barns, small-town edges and the wooded creek bottoms between them.

Most images are either a United States government work in the public domain, released under Creative Commons Zero, or licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. None of them carry a licence that would prohibit commercial use. A smaller set were supplied by the farm and land specialist behind this site from her own past listing photography. Those are used with the photographer's and the seller's permission and are not under a Creative Commons licence; each row says so. Where a photographer is named by the source record, the name is carried through to the credit below.

None of these photographs shows a property this site currently represents, has for sale, or belongs to anyone who has contacted us through this site. The agent-supplied images are past, already-closed listings. They illustrate the region's land only — nothing here implies this site brokered or sold them. Alt text names the place the source record names. Nothing is invented.

As the farm and land specialist behind this site supplies more of her own photographs of this ground, additional interim images are replaced from a single manifest file and this page regenerates with them.
