    Where to get free high quality images?

    Can anyone recommend a source of good quality free images / photos (not clipart) for use on websites.

    We're mainly looking for small images (130 x 90) and thumbnails to use for links, icons, buttons, etc. Mainly business orientated images.

    Many thanks.

    Got to echo webman's pointer to stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site, been using it for a year or two and it's fantastic.

    You could also try flickr, if you do an advanced search you can specify only to return images released under a creative commons license (i.e. free)
