Best of...

These are - in my opinion - the best pictures on this site. Originally I wanted to put here only about 10 pictures or so. But the choice was too difficult, so it got some more, even two pages by now. Yes, that's too many of course... :) Also you might choose other pictures to come here. So visit the other categories as well and send me your comments. You will also find those pictures here again in the parts of this site.
