Trip photos

Every trip in Limbo wears a photo of its destination. You'll see it in four places:

• Trip cards on Home: the photo is the card, with the trip details over it.
• The trip hero: the big collapsing header at the top of the trip screen.
• Archived Trips: small thumbnails in Settings → Archived Trips.
• The voting dashboard header: a thumbnail next to the trip name.

Where the photo comes from

When you create a trip, Limbo looks up your destination's city on Unsplash, a public photo library, and attaches the best match automatically, no setup, nothing to pick. The lookup uses the city part of your destination ("Lisbon" from "Lisbon, Portugal"), so trips to the same city tend to get the same kind of skyline.

This happens while the trip is created and again when you change its destination. The photo is stored with the trip, so cards and heroes load it the same way for everyone on the crew, and it keeps showing after the first load even when you're offline.

When you see the default image instead

Some trips show Limbo's built-in travel image rather than a destination photo:

• No photo matched the destination: small towns and unusual place names sometimes come up empty.
• The lookup failed at creation time: trip creation never waits on the photo, so a hiccup just means no photo.
• The destination is blank or “No destination”: Limbo deliberately uses its built-in image instead of searching those words as though they were a city.

Other photos in the app

Don't confuse the trip photo with the other images you'll run into:

• Place suggestions (Need Inspiration?, place search) show photos from Google Places, a different source, attached per plan.
• Profile and crew member avatars are uploaded by each person from their own profile.
• Chat photos are whatever your crew shares in the conversation.

Permissions

member Trip photos are automatic and the same for everyone: there's nothing to configure, and no role unlocks photo controls.
