# Image credits

Complementary photographs added for the three layout variants are real, freely licensed photos of recognizable Kootenay locations in British Columbia, downloaded from [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/). No AI-generated images were used. Photos that showed another company’s logo or branding (for example a Canadian Pacific locomotive) were reviewed and not used.

Kootenay Testing’s own photographs and logos (the mountain logo, jobsite and septic photos, team photos, ACI and ASTTBC membership marks, and laboratory/field equipment photos) remain their property and are used only as they appear on kootenaytesting.com. The blueprint band (`stock-bg.jpg`) is the background already used on the existing website.

Freely licensed Kootenay photographs of materials-testing procedures themselves (concrete slump or cylinder tests, soil compaction equipment, asphalt paving crews, or rebar installation) were not found. Those complementary slots use Kootenay infrastructure and landscape photographs instead. They are shown as local context, not as projects completed by Kootenay Testing.

A Canadian Pacific locomotive photograph of a grain train in the East Kootenays (Hansueli Krapf, CC BY-SA 4.0) was downloaded as a candidate and then set aside because another company’s name and logo were clearly visible.
