I’m making a computer game, and I want most of my graphics to be actuall photos instead of graphics so that it’ll be more realistic. I want to get some pics or photos of individual trees, but am haveing a very hard time finding any. I’ve looked under GOOGLE and ALTAVISTA using obvious keywords like TREE PICS TREES PICS TREE PHOTOS TREES PHOTOS TREE PHOTOGRAPHS TREES PHOTOGRAPHS TREE PHOTO GALLERY TREE PHOTO GALLERIES TREES PHOTO GALLERY TREES PHOTO GALLERIES and so on. Somebody helped me figure this out before, but I’ve compleatly forgotten how they did it. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks. ---

[http://www.arribavista.com](http://www.arribavista.com) is a search engine specifically designed for graphic searches. You might also try using a normal search engine, but do an advanced search, then click on images only. I know Lycos and Hotbot have this feature. ---

Wow, it worked. Try searching using names of trees. I found the following using the search terms “elm oak maple” on dogpile.
