I'm aware of the many Web sites with free images but was wondering if anyone had a particularly good source for international images. We want our images to be culturally relevant/ appropriate. For example, if we're doing a unit on holidays (Christmas)I don't want to use the U.S. version of Santa in the exercises. These don't necessarily need to be free, nor do they need to be available via the Web (e.g., we would pay for a CD).
