THE REAL VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY CONSISTS NOT IN SEEING NEW LANDSCAPES BUT IN HAVING NEW EYES (Proust)

Welcome to my extensive gallery of holiday pictures! Since travelling is my great passion and I do lots and lots of it, as most of you know, you will only find a very small selection of some of my favourite pictures here, both of recent travels and some lying a few years back. For those of you who want to get even deeper insights into my trips...just let me know and I'll see what I can do about it :)  

The category 'Europe' is no doubt the biggest one these days, which is why I thought it deserved a special feature allowing room for comments and much more. Unfortunately it is NOT possible to add names to the pictures in order to see them in the Dia show, great nuisance, so for seeing the locations' names you have to use the FILTER. The filter helps you to look up names of countries and places which may be of particular interest to you, or to sort the pictures chronologically or in any other way you wish.

Here is the translation of the instructions for the gallery:

Diashow anzeigen = show diashow

Sortieren...=Sort...

...nach Hochladedatum (absteigend) = according to date of upload (newest first)

...nach Hochladedatum (aufsteigend) =  according to date of upload (oldest first)

...nach Aufnahmedatum (absteigend) = according to date of when pic was taken (newest first)

...nach Aufnahmedatum (aufsteigend) = according to date of when pic was taken (oldest first)

Bilder nach Schlagwörtern (Tags) filtern = filter pictures according to tags

(RECOMMENDED!!)

Alle Bilder auswählen = choose all pictures
