surfing around a bit more, I happened across a much better shot:
http://gimp-savvy.com/cgi-bin/img.cgi?noaaZTsXLnuQ3EU7161
linked from:
Most Popular Images
http://gimp-savvy.com/cgi-bin/favorites.cgi
which is part of a much larger collection of copyright-free images:
http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/
] A Community-Indexed Photo Archive
]
] The photo archive at Gimp-Savvy.com has more than 15,000 images
] consisting of over 1Gb of data. The goal is to make this archive
] a resource for collage and photo-montage using digital image
] editing techniques such as those described in Chapter 7 of
] Grokking the GIMP.
]
] To improve the archive's usefulness, full indexing of the images
] is planned. However, this job would be taxing for a single
] person, and would probably produce only mediocre results.
] Consequently, the solution is to provide an interactive
] environment allowing the community to participate in the
] labelling of archive images. The expectation is that the
] resulting index will be both richer and more robust than one
] fashioned by any so-called master architect.
]
] In looking through the archive you will be able to browse pages
] of image thumbnails, which are linked to the full-size images.
] Clicking on a link provides you with the means to examine the
] list of current keywords for that image and to propose some of
] your own. In addition, it will be possible to examine the list
] of all keywords, and these keys will be linked to the images that
] they label. Finally, images will also be searchable by keyword
] and by image association. Hopefully these tools will allow you
] to more easily find good materials for your image editing
] projects.
