Most of the loaves, markets and lake views on Lake & Loaf come from the public domain or the Creative Commons CC0 dedication, found through Openverse and Wikimedia Commons. A handful carry Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licences, which allow reuse with credit, so their photographers are named below. We cropped every picture to 3:2, resized it and saved it as WebP, and changed nothing else.

The breads and dishes pictured are generic: they are neither the recipes published here nor the products of any bakery or restaurant. No person or place in these photos has any connection with Lake & Loaf.
