Hi,
as a tour guide and passionate photographer, I recently opened my site http://www.digforfree.com, where you can find and download thousands of HQ travel photos completely free for all your needs (personal use and commercial work as well). The site runs on free template so it doesn´t look posh (yet:), but I´am sure the photos are worth to come. Found this article, hope your readers and you will find it helpful
Enjoy!

Great article Pavel!
I recently started http://fancycrave.com/ as a side project a few months ago. The site consists of completely free stock photos all taken and edited by me. It’s basically a collection of images from my travels around South East Asia and South America (soon). My aim for these photos is to help designers and creative alike. People can use these images for whatever purpose they please.
I keep things very simple. I list the photo, its tags, the author, and the download link.
I hope you and others will find it valuable. If you see it fit, I’d be very grateful if you could add it to this list. Cheers!
