Kudos to this guy, just awesome.

A photographer who has traveled the world taking beautiful photographs for the last 20 years has taken the unusual step of making all of his photos freely available to download.
Aurel Manea has released copyright on 4,700 high-resolution photos of mostly landscapes. The highlights include dazzling photos of the Northern Lights, the Tuscan hills of Italy, and Monument Valley in Arizona.
“They were gathering dust, so I thought why not make them available for free,” Manea tells PetaPixel. “That way a lot more people get to use them and print them. I never made any money with them and chances were I never will.”

He took photos for the love, not the money.

Collection of landscapes photos. I try to keep the resolution as big as possible for them to be used as wallpapers or not lose any relevancy due to low resolution.
