Challenge: find some Public Domain images on Commons - robkelk - 08-05-2020
Since Windows 10 Pro doesn't (appear to) come with any sample media, I'm putting together a selection of files for testing newly-installed software with. If the files are Puiblic Domain, then I can leave them on the computer with the software... which would make a difference if I'm building a computer for somebody else.
There are plenty of Public Domain videos at the Internet Archive, and it's possible to search for them and not get any CC licensed files in the results.
There's plenty of Public Domain audio at the Virtual Gramophone - they're all PD, so no worries on what comes up in a search.
Images... Sure, there are PD images at Wikimedia Commons, but there's no way to search for only PD images. So, here's a challenge: Find me some PD images on Commons, and share the page URLs (not the images themselves) in this thread. EDIT: Oh, and no NSFW images, please.
For example:
- Tamgaly main petroglyph.jpg
- Challenger II Basra 2008.jpg
- Rothenburg BW 4.JPG
- Apollo 15 flag, rover, LM, Irwin.jpg
- Great Wall of China July 2006.JPG
- Antonietta Brandeis - Il Ponte di Rialto.jpg
- Great Wave off Kanagawa2.jpg
How diverse a collection can we make, using only public domain images?
