Possible graphics or sources

In yesterday's post I forgot to mention the most important aspect of my website other than the theme. I didn't mean to get sidetracked like that...it must have been the sun glaring off of the snow and into my apartment that led to the lapse in communication.

So here is the epiphany: I am going to use graphics and sources from the Canadian National Archives affiliated website, "Images Canada: picturing Canadian Culture".

How the epiphany appear you ask? Well there were cues. Remember when Professor Corse mentioned the public domain images from some Aerospace website? Well, that really got me thinking that there must be free images available via Canada's National organizations or archives. I mean, clearly our tax dollars must support a similar project or database, and not just universal health care. It only took a few minutes on Google and I stumbled upon a gem (the link above).

Here is a breakdown of why it is fabulous:

1) free images and content (provided you follow the copyright rules and give credit to the affiliated organization uploading to the National Archives site).

2) Excellent search features, therefore I can narrow my image search down according to subject, city or otherwise.

3) Um hello, it's Canadian and this is in tune with my website idea.

4) The polar bears, moose, beavers and Canadian geese say it is fabulous. This is their moment to shine and rightly so!

On that note, it is time for some much needed caffeine and a shot of endorphins at the gym.

Cheerio!
