## Summary

Photo credits for the faded Auckland backdrops (Wikimedia Commons: CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA) and the sources of data used on this site.

## Photographs

Faded backdrops use free-licence photographs from Wikimedia Commons. We resized, cropped and compressed them to WebP and place a colour overlay on top for text contrast. Where the licence is CC BY or CC BY-SA, the adapted images stay under the same licence.
