# Photo Credits

Who took the photos of Timor-Leste on this site, the licence of each one, and links to the original files on Wikimedia Commons.

Every photo on this site comes from [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/) and is in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence that allows reuse with credit. We resize and crop them; we do not otherwise change them. Each page credits its photo under the image, and this page lists them all with links to the original file and the licence.

Captions describe what each photo actually shows. Photos on hotel and restaurant pages show the town or coast where the place is, not the place itself, and the caption names what is shown. Food photos marked “similar to” show a closely related dish from the region. If you took one of these photos and want the credit changed, [contact us](https://www.easttimorguide.com/contact/).
