What to do when you urgently need a picture to illustrate a point in a presentation? There is a great solution on the net, as described in The excellence that is Flickr and Creative Commons: "So I’m doing a presentation called “What’s Driving Open Access?” next month. And because I will happily take a metaphor, run it into the ground, resurrect it, run it back into the ground, then hop up and down on its exanimate corpse just to make the point, I went to Flickr’s Creative Commons search looking for pictures of buses. [...] I found some awesome stuff. I found more metaphors than even I can shake the proverbial stick at. I found the “rubber meets road” picture. I did. I swear I did." [Caveat Lector]
