    Biography: Hallo my DPChallenge friends.

    Reading some of the comments made in the "Forum", most of us suffer from the "THIS PHOTO SHOULD DO BETTER" syndrome.
    Every time I think I have a winning ( or at least top 20 ) picture, the votes I receive are somewhere around 5 - 6.

    This is sometimes really frustrating. But fortunate there is always the next round. Let's keep it up for some good fun.

    I am Swiss born, lived for almost 30 years in Cape Town (South Africa) and returned back home to Switzerland in 1999. Since Feb 2008 I now live with my wife in Holland / Breda. So expect to see a lot of tulips, canals and windmills.
