# Imagery — credits & status Record every image here. All must be royalty-free (public domain or Creative Commons) and cleared for commercial use. CC BY / BY-SA images need visible attribution on the page too (footer + a caption on prominent images). See `../docs/imagery-sourcing.md` for the method. Web-optimised copies live in `assets/photos/web/` (max 1200px, ~150–650 KB). The full-resolution originals stay in `assets/photos/` as masters. ## `photos/` — real imagery of THIS town (genuinely of the place) | File | Depicts | Author | Licence | |---|---|---|---| | `clanwilliam-church.jpg` | Dutch Reformed Church, Main Street, Clanwilliam (SAHRA 9/2/022/0013) | Andrew Hall | CC BY-SA 3.0 | | `citrusdal-orchards.jpg` | Typical view in Citrusdal — the citrus orchards the town is named for | Danie van der Merwe | CC BY 2.0 | | `wupperthal-dancers.jpg` | Die Nuwe Graskoue Trappers traditional dancers from Wupperthal, in the Cederberg mountains | SanDanceVR | CC BY-SA 4.0 | | `nieuwoudtville-church.jpg` | Dutch Reformed Church, Pieter Brundyn Street, Nieuwoudtville, with spring flowers | Suzi-k | CC BY-SA 3.0 | ## `photos/` — representative topic imagery (real of the subject, not this town specifically) Used honestly for what they depict — never captioned as a specific local building. | File | Depicts | Author | Licence | |---|---|---|---| | `rooibos-bush.jpg` | A rooibos bush (*Aspalathus linearis*), cultivated — representative of the plant, not a Cederberg farm | Amada44 | CC BY-SA 3.0 | | `rooibos-field.jpg` | A rooibos field (*Aspalathus linearis*), cultivated — representative of the crop, not a Cederberg farm | Amada44 | CC BY-SA 3.0 | ## `stock/` — generic placeholders (replace before launch) Generic landscape standing in where a real/representative photo isn't ready. None shows this town. _(none yet)_ ## Still un-photographed (honest gaps) List the specific buildings/businesses you have no honest photo of. They show as neutral cards or text only — never a stand-in building. Clear real business photography in writing before using it. - No honest photo of a working rooibos farm in the Cederberg itself (the two rooibos images above are representative, photographed in KwaZulu-Natal, and are captioned as such). - No photo of the Wupperthal mission village buildings (only the 1850 sketch and the dancers exist on Commons; we do not pass a generic mountain village off as Wupperthal). - No photo of the Clanwilliam "Rooibos to Space" centre — it is a proposal, not a building. ## Social share cards (`assets/og/`) Generated 22 August 2026 at 1200x630 from the site's own wordmark, palette and typefaces. Six of the eight are typographic and contain no third-party material. Two contain a photograph, and the licence drove the choice: | Card | Photo | Licence | How attribution is met | |---|---|---|---| | `plan.png` | `citrusdal-orchards.jpg` | CC BY 2.0 | Credit line **baked into the image** ("Photo: Danie van der Merwe, CC BY 2.0"), because a share card has no caption | | `towns.png` | none | — | Deliberately typographic | **Two rules were applied here and should be applied to any future card:** 1. **No CC BY-SA photo in a share card.** `clanwilliam-church.jpg` (CC BY-SA 3.0) was originally used on `towns.png` and removed. A card containing it is a derivative work, which would oblige us to license the card itself under CC BY-SA — a bad entanglement for the most widely redistributed artefact the site produces. CC BY is fine; a baked-in credit satisfies it. 2. **No rooibos-plant photo on a card.** Our two rooibos images are geotagged outside the growing region. On a page they are captioned honestly as representative; a card has no caption and sits the image directly beside "Cederberg & Suid-Bokkeveld", which would imply something untrue. `default.png` and `story.png` are typographic for that reason. ## Added 22 August 2026 — Wikimedia Commons Sourced with the API method in `docs/imagery-sourcing.md`. Every one was opened and looked at before use, and the GPS on the two Cederberg location shots was checked against the region. | File | Depicts | Author | Licence | Real-local or representative | |---|---|---|---|---| | `cederberg-landscape.jpg` | Sandstone formation in the Cederberg | dconvertini | CC BY-SA 2.0 | **Real-local** — geotagged −32.107406, 19.068703 | | `wolfberg-arch.jpg` | The Wolfberg Arch with two hikers | South African Tourism | CC BY 2.0 | **Real-local** — Wolfberg Arch is unambiguously in the Cederberg | | `sevilla-rock-art.jpg` | Two San rock-art figures on the Sevilla Rock Art Trail | Zaian | CC BY 4.0 | **Real-local** — geotagged −32.079292, 19.083750 | | `rooibos-brewed.jpg` | Brewed rooibos in a glass beside dry leaf | Żółwiciel | CC BY 3.0 | Representative — the subject, not a place | | `rooibos-cut.jpg` | Cut and dried rooibos leaf | soultea.de / André Helbig | CC BY-SA 3.0 | Representative — the subject, not a place | **On the rock art.** It is captioned as San rock art on the Sevilla trail, which is what it is. It is **not** presented as depicting rooibos or as illustrating rooibos knowledge — no such claim is sourced, and drawing that line would be exactly the kind of invention this site refuses. It appears beside the benefit-sharing section because both concern the Cederberg and its first people, and the caption says only what the photograph shows. **Licence reminder:** the CC BY-SA files here are fine on a page with visible attribution. They must **not** go into a social share card — see the share-card rules above. ## Icons — Lucide The data-rail icons on the homepage are **Lucide** (), licensed **ISC**. Icons used: `leaf`, `map-pin`, `shield-check`, `scissors`, `ship`. **Inlined as SVG, deliberately.** Not the npm package and not the CDN script: this is a no-build static site and an icon set does not justify a runtime dependency. Inlining also means the icons inherit `currentColor` and cannot fail to load. **One modification:** stroke width is set to **1.75** rather than Lucide's default 2. Stroke width is a documented, supported property of the set, and the lighter weight sits better beside Caslon. ISC is a permissive licence and does not require on-page attribution, but it is recorded here for the same reason everything else is: so the next person knows where it came from and what they may do with it.
