Add stock photograph(s) in place of gray area #492

@nmorduch suggested we replace the gray area on the site with a nice stock photograph:

We probably want something involving police officers/cars/etc that is neutral.

Note that there are several pages with this gray area, and we could have a different photograph for each page.

I generally recommend Stocksy. The photos cost money, but not a huge amount, and they're a cooperative.

Here's a search for police car photos. They also have short videos if you want to be fancy for the front page, but I wouldn't bother. Especially because loading videos is mildly rude and more trouble than it's worth imo, even though it's cool.

There's also Adobe Stock, which can be a cheaper option. Here's a search for police car photos there.

Nice links - these looks pretty good and are impartial in nature:
