You could try to do a search on wallpapers for your computer. Some really nice Pictures are brought out on Wallpaper.
And otherwise when you are on Holiday always take pics from the area and nature. Not only are they nice backdrops they are also perfect reference.

another thing you could try is scanning some pics from nature books onto your computer, or photocopy some from books. If you look on the internet you should find some pretty good pics.

the best things i have found is either to find large calendars(get ones that are a year old,the're cheap)of world travel or scenery.the second is that already mentioned.go out and take pictures with your camera.you can have them printed any size you like or if your using digital you can print them at home.
