Calling all shutterbugs!
Anybody have any photos of scenic West Virginia that they're willing share with me? Anything with hills, mountains, sunsets, etc... I'm trying to design a small poster for my West Virginian girlfriend for Valentine's to remind her a little bit of home while she's so far away. I'm wanting to matte and frame it for her.
The only problem is, from all my research online, I can't find one useable photo for print reproduction. They're all low res! I've never been over that way, but from what I've seen online, it's beautiful country.
I can assure you that I will not sell or reproduce any photos I would receive. It's just for my girl. Any help is greatly appreciated. My email is jonas AT ite.net.
Thanks!

Maybe that is because those photographers own the copyright and don't want people like you stealing their work without paying for it or without asking permission?

Yeah well, I was looking for free stuff. I'm not trying to rip anyone off or make any money from this or whatever...I just want to give her a little reminder of home. Guam is pretty far from the WV. And I'd be glad to send a written request for permission with intent and all that to anyone who's willing to help an island mac-brother out. I'm willing to pay for what I get as well.

She's from Ripley, but went to school in Elkins.

Thanks for those resource links. I've emailed some of the photographers about using their work.

What town is that Zimph? What's the population of brown people? 
I know of at least one guy from Guam in WV. Married a nice moutain momma and decided to give up island living for country roads.
Thanks for link, effgee. I downloaded a photo from there as well.
