Wait what is that novel written on each of the German's tombstones?

A dozen or so names per stone.
It's where the German students that fell in the first battle of Ypres are buried, amongst many many others.
Also the site of the first gas attacks during the second battle.

Ah I see. Mass graves.

Yes the slaughter of the innocents. Not that most of the conscripts who died in those first few months weren't.

Pictures from Iceland during my Laugavegur hike. Apologies for the low quality but due to my lazyness all I brought was my iPhone 5 and its camera had some lighting issues. It was the most beautiful hike I've done so far.

Awesome Liep

Great pictures!

Iceland looks a bit like when you use one of those software products to render a landscape.

Good ones Liep.

Beautiful pictures all around.

Some pictures I took in Ladakh, the northermost part of India. It's located in the Himalayas, mostly buddhist and very sparsely populated - rather unusual for India.


Likir buddhist monastery


Thiksey buddhist monastery



Both in the Nubra valley


Our campsite at about 5000 meters in the Rupshu highlands of Eastern Ladakh


Very desolate landscape with nearly no vegetation


View from about 5600 meters altitude towards the Moriri lake (at 4500m). The snow-covered peak on the right is the 6200m Mentok Kangri. I had planned to climb that, but could not as I got problems breathing, especially at night. As that's the first sign of altitude sickness, I decided it wasn't worth risking it.

I'm thinking of downloading some pictures of mountains I've climbed to put into a panel series of pictures to hang in my place. Maybe each picture around 10 in (25cm) x 10 in.

Is there a guideline of how good the online picture quality should be so that the pictures come out well?

A wiki article, something along the lines of print quality/resolution or printing?
