 * ==Links== || ==Description== ||
 * [| www.morguefile.com] || An amazing site where many professional photographers share their works. You can search for anything. This site provides high resolution photos. ||
 * [|www.flickr.com] || Anyone can upload photos to flickr. You can create your own libraries and then give other people your URL so they can access them. This is a fabulous sharing forum for the classroom. I wouldn’t let your students search freely, as there may be inappropriate photos. Many professional photographers use this to share their works. ||
 * http://yotophoto.com/ || This is another piece of social software like flickr. Anyone can upload photos, however, these are free for use and a great tool for the classroom. Once again, this is a teacher resource not a place for students to be searching. ||
 * [| http://www.freefoto.com/index.jsp] || Fantastic resource - free photos that you can download and use without any copyright problems. There are photos of the alphabet, nature and many more areas to explore. Most of these photos are extremely good quality. ||
 * http://www.myphotographs.net/ || This website has photos from countries around the world. It would be a great place to look if you were looking at structures or major landmarks around the world. ||
 * [|http://www.cohsoft.com.au/nature/gallery/] || Nature gallery – great range of photos in alphabetical order. ||
 * [| http://www.nationalgeographic.com/siteindex/photogallery/] || National Geographic – great selection of professional photos that you can use. ||
