I was floating around the Internet yesterday and found a wonderful cache of photographs currently held by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These pictures, which are now part of the public domain, can be found at
NOAA Photo Library. According to the website, you are allowed to use these pictures, as long as you give credit back to NOAA or their affiliates. (Check
About the Images for more information.)
So, what sort of pictures do they have? How about these?

NOAA has some astounding photos. I'm enjoying your posts. I am putting together a science education webpage, so I'm getting a feel for all that's available on the web already.
Thanks for your comment, barbara. :) I think the web could always use more science education!
As far as photos go, I was surprised to find so many interesting ones in the public domain. Check out the links on the wikipedia page for "Public domain image resources" -- there's a ton of stuff out there.
