Good day!
Today's post will be of interest primarily to lovers of beautiful photographs and illustrations (as well as to everyone who often needs some pictures to create postcards, notes, etc.).
In general, of course, now any search engine will help you find thousands of pictures - but this is not quite what you can see 👀 on the resources listed below: we are talking about both content and quality ...
Note that I have arranged the resources in random order (i.e. this does not mean that the first one is better than the second or third in the list).

👉 Important!
Despite the fact that I selected the white officers. sites with free original photos and illustrations - in order to protect against legal. problems, I recommend that you double-check the license yourself (this applies primarily to those who are going to use the photo for commercial purposes).

A very large resource on which hundreds of new pictures from photographers from all over the world are published weekly! All photos are sorted into categories, making it easy to find.
Some pictures are so high-quality and well-developed - that there is an incredible desire to visit these places (breathtaking!). Many of the photos, by the way, are directly asked to be installed on the desktop ... 👍

👉 Unsplash
I like this site first of all because it has a lot of categories, and all the photos are sorted quite accurately into them. Those. to find a selection of pictures of a certain subject - you do not need to use the search for hours, you just need to enter the desired section!
Wallpaper section on unsplash.com
Well, it should be noted that there are specials on the site. section with wallpapers (in English "Wallpapers"). Once a week, there is an update - at least a dozen or two new high-resolution photos appear. 👌

👉 NegativeSpace
This site has its own little "zest" - most of the photos on it have a blurry environment (this is extremely useful for some types of tasks).
By the way, the resource has the ability to search for pictures not only by category or name, but also by color!

👉 BURST
I like this site because it is not just a collection of drawings, but a whole community of people who have taken tens of thousands of photographs on a variety of topics (moreover, many pictures are almost not processed in any way and show life as it really is).
BURST home page
Please note that the top menu of the site allows you to find images on many topics: design, life, technology, nature, etc. (of course, each large section is subdivided into a bunch of smaller ones).

❿
👉 FreeImages.com
On the one hand, this site does not have its own "zest", on the other hand, there are already 400,000 photos and pictures on it, it is Russian-speaking, and it contains both professional and amateur creativity.
I cannot fail to note a very successful directory structure: you can quickly find everything you need by topic.
FreeImages.com - free images
You can register on the site and discuss this or that picture with visitors.
By the way, FreeImages.com lists its properties for each photo: which camera was taken, when, focal length, lenses, etc. (this information can be useful for novice photographers).
