In the early days of the internet, the photos people used were usually covered by a copyright that didn’t actually allow the use of the image, if the photos weren’t their own images. Then Creative Commons licences came along, and it opened up a whole world of professional photography to blogs and websites everywhere.

Below are some of the best Creative Commons photos taken or uploaded in 2013 to Flickr. Just to make it clear, we didn’t take these photos, so we’ve included credits to the artists. After all, they clearly deserve all the credit.
