Beautiful pictures accompanying a post draws attention to the message or vice versa. Finding a good picture that emphasizes the message of the post is hard to get. Sometimes if I am lucky I can use one of my own. For presentations I have a set self made photo's about ECT.
Luckily there are few free photo sites such as:
- FreeFoto.com The site uses the following categories: USA, Business, Europe, Nature, Transport, United Kingdom, and other.

The image above and below are from FreeFoto. It is Loch Awe in Scotland - A better site is freeimages.co.uk. All you have to do is join the mailing list and credit the source when using the image.

Thanks for the tips - Well … I’m giving myself some meditative time googeling for pictures. Not very practical - I know. But here I have some other sites. I don’t use them myself (hooked to meditation).
