Flickr is a great place to find great or strange user-submitted photos with various licensing requirements, but not everyone is familiar with the Commons section of the website. Founded in 2008, Flickr Commons were designated to showcasing public photography that have "no known copyright restrictions" for a variety of reasons (that you can read about here), with the following in mind: "To increase access to publicly-held photography collections," and "To provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge. (Then watch what happens when they do!)."
