Pack 1: 500+ Scenery, Landscape & City Scene Photos

These scenery packs are perfect for blog articles & job ad background images. City and landscape photos also serve as great images for blog posts if you’re in a pinch and need a quick photo. Pro tip: I would recommend simply making sure the photo you use relates to the content. It seems like common sense, but mismatched photos in content is often overlooked — don’t let yourself make that mistake! A candidate or viewer will notice.
