    NPS

    National Park Service (NPS) has over 9000 images available in the public domain for use, free of charge as long as you credit the photo as "NPS Photo" or "NPS Photo by (photographer's name)". The photos are specifically related to Yellowstone National Park covering animals, fire, geology, park structures, special events and more.

    According to the site's FAQ, NPS has 19,000 images and plans to continue scanning and posting those that aren't yet online. Images are neatly organized in thumbnails on their category pages along with their file names and a brief description.

    When you click an image, the site loads the full size of the image and you can right-click and select "Save as..." It's a well-organized site considering there are thousands of photos with many more coming.
