If you have never heard of Freefoto (www.freefoto.com) I recommend you go and take a look sometime. I have this site bookmarked and visit regularly to borrow from their massive array of images. They have a photograph suitable for all occasions. Often they have several photos of the same setting but with different angles, light, shadow and contrast.
A slight negative might be the slight bias towards UK scenery and objects, mainly because the site owner is British. Notwithstanding this there is a healthy collection of European and North American images and some from elsewhere across the globe. The collection is constantly growing - sourcing and publishing the images is obviously a true labour of love for the owner. In addition to the usual scenes of breathtaking rolling countryside, Sunkist golden beaches and snow-capped mountains there are also many useful 'down to earth' images of everyday objects - the sort of objects that aren't incredibly ingenious or attractive, but that you might like to use in a presentation or document. Best of all is the price - Freefoto, as the name implies, is absolutely free of charge for non-commercial users. No need to register either - just surf and save! All they ask in return is that you acknowledge the source. Go take a look - you'll not be disappointed.
