STOCK PHOTOS LEISURE & TOURISM INTRODUCTION This stock list is called leisure & tourism because it has been separated from the general topics, since a lot of our clients are travel magazines and touristical organisations. Vacation and recreation are other keywords. Our images are for editorial as well as for advertising purposes. If you prefer finding photos not by topic but by city, region or country, please have a look in our list countries, regions & cities. HOW THIS LIST WORKS A link brings you to photos truly showing the subject. It is more precise than a normal search. The link lakes will lead you to pictures of lakes; you don't end up with an image of the Blue Lake Bar. If you like to narrow your search, say you need Lakes in the Alps, please add "-alps" to the browser's webaddress after clicking on lakes. You can combine all keywords by putting a "-" inbetween. All our photos are digital. All copyrights are reserved. ACCOMODATION Accomodation (all forms of accomodation) Bed & Breakfasts/chambres d'hôtes Campings Holiday houses/holiday bungalows Hotels/pensions Mountain hut/refuge Special accomodation (farms, castles, palaces) AERIAL VIEW Aerial view AMUSEMENT Amusement parks Carnival Dance/Ballet Festivals Games Masks/painted faces Marionettes/puppet theatre Museums Music Operas, Operettas, Musicals Parties Playgrounds Processions/parades Theatre, Cabaret, Pantomime, Commedia dell’Arte, Puppet theatre Zoos ANIMALS Listed in the General Subjects. ARCHITECTURE Listed in the General Topics. ART Listed in the General Topics. CALENDAR SUBJECTS Calendar subjects around travel, tourism and leisure can be found here. More general calendar subjects, like "angels", are on General Topics. Everything surrounding flowers and gardens is on Flowers & Gardens. You can always narrow a search. Imagine you publish a calendar "Castles in Germany". The link "castles" leads to all castles. Then add "-germany" to the webaddress of your browser and you get what you're looking for. You can combine all keywords by putting a "-" inbetween.
