Background images for renders?

[aimer32]

I am trying to push my renders to the next level by adding images in the back of the renders. I have ben searching for a site with quality pictures, but the only way i know how to find pictures is searching within google/images. So is there anyone that knows a place for good quality pictures.

I am searching for pictures of environments like beaches, tree, skies, etc.

So if you can help me!!
ThanQ

One of the best ways is to take the pictures yourself! I now carry my small Canon Ixus 70 most places and if I see a nice sky, or tree, etc. I just take a snap and add to my library! I need to tag them soon.
