Royalty-free pictures with a story

The new photoblog of Leonardo ENERGY offers royalty-free pictures on energy:

• blog url: http://www.leonardo-energy.org/drupal/photoblog
• blog feed: http://www.leonardo-energy.org/drupal/taxonomy/term/194/0/feed (what's this?)

A picture may say more than a 1000 words, but in electrical engineering, many pictures are not self-explanatory. Therefore, all pictures include a title, an explanation and a source/copyright notice. Provided the source is acknowledged or the copyright notice is included, pictures can be used for non-commercial purposes. Where possible, the blog provides pictures in minimum 1.5 Mpixels, allowing print-quality publication up to 150 sq.cm. The picture stream is archived in the Leonardo ENERGY image gallery. Users are invited to comment on pictures.

Currently, the blog includes the following galleries:

• conductors
• electrical safety
• electricity - generation, transmission & distribution
• renewable energy sources
• technology
