I surely would look your image gallery, even using lynx with external
viewer, if nothing else was available... those images are good.

And very nice indeed. Is it application, in sence that you have some
program that you use to output it? I would be really interested...

Of course, you could do it so that snipping happens from both ends, if
the most important part is in the middle, using CSS.

I think your idea of autocropping *thumbnails* is very good idea (of
course, not many people have over 800px wide thumbnails). I hope I can
find time to read the texts (my german is way too rusty to cope without
dictionary...)

I need to get around to make similar for my forthcoming trip (but with
bicycle...

CSS:
..block {display: block;border:2px solid #d9e8b9;
width:100%;overflow:hidden;}
..block:visited {border-color:#ccc;} /* to make difference */
..block:hover {border:2px double #494}
/* guessed #494 for olivedrap, propably not same... */

HTML:

<a class="block" TITLE="hier klicken zum Vergr&ouml;ssern des Bildes"
href=http://coolhaus.de/iv/v4.php?width=1706&height=520&h1=Griechenland+[
3]:+Meteora&img=img/040610/XL-M1915.jpg><img src="img/040610/M1915.jpg"
alt"mahtava panoraama">
</a>

<a style="background:url(http://hothaus.de/greg-tour-
2004/img/040611/M1943.jpg)"
TITLE="hier klicken zum Vergr&ouml;ssern des Bildes" class="block"
href=http://coolhaus.de/iv/v4.php?width=750&height=562&h1=Griechenland+[3
]:+Meteora&img=img/040611/XL-M1943.jpg>
<img src="img/040611/M1943.jpg" alt="ikoneja"></a>

(get rid of all tables for layout. Replace alt text with something in
german.)
