It is the best and the biggest photo stock agency which has got millions of images on almost all the catogories, and really best images from some of the very best photo graphers of the world and also of internet users.

Almost all the blogs which come with wonderful images use flickr for their image needs. Even though there are different kinds of licence, under which flickr exibits its valuable collection of wonderful images, i normally recommend you to go for creative commons licence,(because where we will be safe) attribution only for commercial use images.This will give you the previlage to download and use that image on your blog or website giving the due credit to the photographer who created it by linking back to the creator's photo stream, and if you use in this way there is no need for you to ask for permission from the creator. As long as you are always within the limits of the license,there is nothing to worry about. So depending on the CC license whether commercial or non- commercial you can use them in your works, but never forget to give due regard to the creator, after all giving due respect for all those hard work done and appreciating it, is not wrong.
