Damn, now SXC.hu has bitten the dust too!
Yes, photo rates are freaking horrible!
For this very reason I created a year ago the
Royalty Free Image Archive as a place to go for free images for site making. Haven't pushed it very much though of late (til now.)
If anyone has some photos they would like to contribute, please PM me. Thanks.
Trev, there's some nature photos in there I know. But I'm also sitting on a hundred mostly-nature pics (lots of trees) that need to be uploaded into there as well. If you can't find what you need, hit me up and I'll get those contributions into the system.
