The base here has a very modest Bald Eagle rescue program (basically just caring for some hapless eagles that can no longer fly/live in the wild).  I did a volunteer thing there cleaning the habitat one time. 

I call it "Caged Freedom"

A dozen or so names per stone.

Also the site of the first gas attacks during the second battle.

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.

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

Thanks Katmai. Everything I've downloaded seems to be 96 dpi - vertical and horizontal. Is there a size that resolution would be adequate for?

I'm not aiming for stunning photography as much as conversation pieces - but of course I want the pictures to look good.

If a picture has a sufficient amount of pixels, you can change from 96 to 300 dpi with a graphics program without problems.
