Still winter, and ice is always interesting to photograph. Here some close-up pictures of flowers frozen  in an ice block.

These royalty-free images are as well free for commercial use, but please mention the source / link here wherever possible.

Today two stock images which may come in handy wherever you need quite plain green background textures, be it a small web graphic or a customized Twitter page:

Green grass texture:

I promised I would post more royalty free images at the beginning of the week, so, it´s Monday and here we are. Most folks coming to this website are graphic designers and need to feed their projects – as a reminder, these are stock photos for commercial use, too, so don´t be afraid and download the images (just give credit or a link wherever you can). Anyway, today some nature textures:

Environmental themes are still gaining popularity in publishing, and if stock images like this one  are liked, I will provide more material of that kind.

Another green photo background:

These bokeh textures are not Photoshop-created, but selects from out-of-focus areas of images taken with some really nice lenses (indeed, several were photographed extra for that purpose). While pleasant blur quietly makes much for the aesthetic quality of a stock photo, bokeh textures are really easy material to get some pretty backgrounds in all sorts of designs from, so I thought I give you a few here. Download these royalty free images in higher resolution by clicking on the preview photos below:

More stock photos here at the beginning of next week.

Time to post again here, and as I found in my image library more dark backgrounds, here they are. All stock photos under royalty-free license:

Today a set of blue background textures.

All royalty-free images you can download for free.

More blue paint & grunge textures.

In continuation of the autumn stock photos, today a series of mushroom pictures.

Boletus, actually, absolutely delicious when fresh from the forest (and in most parts of the world rather rare Delicatessen).

Close-up / macro photo of a Boletus mushroom.

Look around, there are more autumn pictures (all royalty free images) on this site.

Close-up stock photo of a mushroom growing in moss.

Dark backgrounds are always popular among graphic designers, and grunge textures can add some interesting patterns to website backgrounds, so here a set of royalty free images of this kind.

Note: No sharpening applied to these photos, as you may want to decide the necessary amount yourself.

More stock photos on the way (especially backgrounds), visit again the next days…

Some people seem to have wondered if they can download royalty free images for commercial use as well here, so I added such permission explicitly to the license conditions. (Please remember that these are not copyright-free images, though, but you can download these photos free of charge – and yes, as well for commercial use).

Today, more colorful textile textures:

… or autumn colours or fall colors or the other way around (this one seems to appear in great variety) – anyway here some abstract backgrounds in such colors/colours – download the high resolution images free of charge and do something with them.

You may download these stock photos as well for commercial use (I´d like to keep the restrictions as minimal as possible, after all that´s the idea behind royalty free, but if you somehow can, please do mention  or link to this site as the image source).
