I put this in the conf file and it works well now. I put it just under the
"access log line", I am not sure if I put it at the end of the conf, it
might not work.

location ~ \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ {
root /home/user/docs;
valid_referers none block server_names ~(domain1.com|google.);
if ($invalid_referer) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /wp-content/uploads/av.gif break;
}
}
