Selecting and sorting six years worth of travel photography was an ungrateful and daunting task. Even if this book was made for personal use (as a present to our close relatives and friends), we had to draw a line - to separate interesting from downright boring, to single out images which carry emotions and memories only for those who "were there".

Judging from the size of this album, we might have failed.

Final judgement will be the dear reader's task - assuming he/she can wade through all these pages. Adding comments and background information would have made this easier, but the author is a firm believer that in the end only the "naked picture" counts...
