... too many large pictures. Some of us have slow connections and the page will load REAL slowly. Three or four medium pictures are enough, at least for mountain pages where the focus should be on the written info, not so much the images. I always use tables with thumbs in one or two sections.
On the other hand you could put up a route with several of your pictures. The Glocknerhaus shot needn't be that big ;-)
Thanks for the hint, Gangolf. I haven't wasted too many thougts on the picture-size, because of my rather fast internet connection. But you're right: that obviously doesn't count for everyone. So I reduced most of the pictures to thumb size (especially the Glocknerhaus ;))) and gave them a short title for the "mouse-over" event. The details regarding each picture are still available, if someone uses the link to the original picture. I hope the page is now more suitable for the majority of interested SP-users.
