+'''[[commons:Welcome|Wikimedia Commons]]''' volunteers have created and shared some truly amazing images, which are [[commons:Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia|free to re-use]] for any purpose, as long as you attribute their work in the way that they've asked. Here are a few examples;

-'''[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia Commons]''' is a huge repository of freely licensed media - which has just celebrated its 6 millionth file! This image of [[w:Bruny_Island|Bruny Island]], an island off the south-eastern coast of [[w:Tasmania|Tasmania]], is a 'featured picture' which means the Commons community has categorised it as one of the finest images available.
-The freely licensed image was taken by a volunteer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Noodle_snacks 'noodle snacks'], who has also donated 136 other high quality images of largely Australian content. Please [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Noodle_snacks click here] to see examples of Noodles' work. The image, combined with the freely licensed article linked to above is another example of the resources the Wikimedia Foundation are keen to distribute to all, for free.
