Hi Laura,
one appropriate picture would be the linguistic LOD-cloud
http://linguistics.okfn.org/resources/llod/
We had a conference in March in a basement room with a projector and very  
good attendance. I do not have photographs myself, but there should be a  
way to get hold of some (If you think that photographs of a basement room  
are any good as pictures). We could also give you screenshots of various  
resources.
