Now we "cleaned up" the site. Descriptions associated to "Advent Calendar" are no more visble. The website functionings as a gallery since January 2010. All photo-text-combinations are still available for direct visitors, search engines & referring sites. Furthermore, people who visit the site still have the chance to contact us for feedback or further information. | Now we "cleaned up" the site.
