Creative Commons Image

I am very new to the copyright issue, I usually just play it safe and not add images or citations that I am not sure of or have no idea where they came from. Creative Commons was very intriguing because it seemed like such a novel and simple concept that one takes for granted when publishing on the internet. What a neat idea to have a place that allows people to legally know that they can share this property and that they should!

I decided to search for an image using the Creative Commons query with specifications set to Flickr. I just assemble a Science unit called "Our Dynamic Earth" and decided that "planet earth" may retrieve some interesting results. I found the following image that seems to fit perfectly for what I needed:

It obviously first appears as the planet Earth but as you look closer, you see all of the different layers resonating from the surface. This fits perfectly with my unit on layers of the Earth, although it may be a bit "abstract" for my concept.

The photo that I chose to upload is one of my personal favorites. My son got a hold of some Wikis or Bendaroos and wrote his name on the dining room wall. I really just like the simplicity and color and how it looks just like it would if he had written it in crayon. It was just so "him". :)
