Carousels provide a rotating visual slideshow

There are many free image repositories, such as: Google Images, Life of Pix, Pexels, Pixabay, Realistic Shots, Unsplash, and many others. To substitute your own images, simply replace https://unsplash.it/800/400?sig={number} with the URL for your images.

Custom CSS

To make the indicators, captions, and controls pop off the background better, you might consider adding an overlay or simply dimming the image. I've done that here (when toggled on) by adding a custom class of .carousel-item-dimmed to the image.

/* Target each carousel-item with a custom class */
.carousel-item-dimmed {
    filter: brightness(60%);
    -webkit-filter: brightness(60%);
}
