Public Domain Pictures

[Mithferion]

Hi there!

I just wanted to share a list of sites that offer Public Domain Pictures in good quality. Some of them are listed in this thread, but I wanted to add more and publish a list of this kind of content (CC0 License, and also a High Permissive Licenses sites). Also, consider that there may be additional restrictions implied on these pictures, like brandings, buildings, people, etc.

Also, please read each site's Licensing in order to ensure what can and can't be done.  

Edit: Since I crated this Topic, some things have changed, so: I removed non-working links and added a few more:

Thanks for letting me know!

From what I gather, it’s not a bad change, but I will edit the post.

Best regards!
