Beautiful images and art to peruse and use for free. I created this list. It is not a copy and paste. The links are provided so you can easily find the websites I mention. Please make use of this work.

Hello fellow Steemians,Recently there has been controversy surrounding fair use and copyrite infringement. Things are up in the air with a great debate and many very valid viewpoints being shared. I am not here to settle the debate. I love you all.
I have compiled some links to websites with databases of high quality images you can FREELY use on your blog posts, many of these DO NOT even require you give credit for anything, to anyone.
Make Steem Dollars, make money without out worry!
Typically the art works are now in the public domain or the artist has graciously offered the images for free for all to enjoy and use.
You may share freely. EVEN FOR BUSINESS! $$$
