Default Searching for Uncopyrighted (Or Permitted Use) Image of Memphis

I'm putting something together right now and while it's not absolutely mandatory that I have a picture of Memphis, it would look good for the cover. A nighttime view of the Memphis skyline would be ideal, but any good photo that screams out "Memphis!" in it would nice. I'm particularly looking for something with a good deal of blue in it.

This is a good example I found on Google, but I'm not sure if it's copyrighted or if I can use it freely:

http://www.utalumni.com/memphis/memphis_1.jpg

Anyone have any ideas or know of any photos that I could use?

A few of the pictures in the picture thread could potentially work, but I'll have to get ahold of the photographers.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

i wish you the best in locating a really good picture of downtown. i've looked everywhere i know, and i have yet to find a good professional shot of downtown...not even candid shots. i do not understand why a city the size of memphis would not have invested in a professional portfolio which included wonderful nightscapes inclusive of all of the downtown---including the pyramid. it seems to me that city pride could be drawn upon in order to set aside a designated date (both day and night) to turn on the downtown lights---buildings, prominent structures, and the bridge (make sure the bulbs are in working order) and take care of this need. aireal shots, river shots, arkansas bank shots, etc., would produce some very impressive photos. an investment by the city would bring about many positive outcomes for memphis-shelby county. i am confident that the city could contract a very competent area photographer. from these photos, you could produce a gamut of postcards, mezzotints, engravings, etc. i love to see this happen.

Btw, thanks again for the link tippster. I found a few useful images in there.

Kingchef, it is a bit baffling. I've never had as much difficulty finding photos of a large city as I have with Memphis. Honestly, the best "pictures" I could find are simply from Google Map's Streetview feature; but I can't take those.
