I don't believe we have a thread for references yet, so here it goes.
References is everything in our line of work, you can never have enough references when making levels (Whether you're making art or design), so please share you're references libraries / links! 
I'll start:

Damn! this is the website I want to put here 
Good stuff. Was looking through these recently, planning a L4D2 campaign. Here's a couple of reference sheets of a steelworks & limestone caves mostly in Alabama (for the southern theme) taken from Flickr. Probably won't be using them:

Hey mino... didnt you have that awesome collection of iraq reference images?
Great thread, HP!
Never underestimate simple image searching at flickr. Not all images are available in large sizes for download, but I've never been let down.

Cool. Is there any way to keep images at full resolution on DropBox?
I've gotten a few gems from this photo pool. And it's pretty active. I have it set up on an RSS feed and it ticks in between 50-100 photos a day
When i was doing a bit of research on Kosovo i dumped all the photos in here. There is also a nice photoset of a town in spain (Spielmannstown) that is definitely worth the check
Another abandoned places (found on Hourences' twitter):

Lot's of sweet clean stuff
Loads of good shots all over Europe on this site:
Do you think it would be possible to get the links sorted and categorised in the first post? The problem I've always found with these kinds of threads is by the time you get to a few pages it's enough effort to find the links you need in the first place, as it is to find good references.
