Top 10 (ever)

Recently, we've held a "Top 10 Pictures" presentation over at Techno's, with a bunch of colleagues showing off a selection of their best (ever) photographies.
Since "best" is a non-operational qualifier (or at least is difficult to operationalize), everybody applied his own criterion for selection. Here's what made it past my own personal filter.

Enjoy.



A panda in the Schönbrunn zoo in Vienna, still sleepy but happily chewing away at a bunch of bamboo just an arm length away, seen through only a glass pane.


Sunset view of Vancouver Bay, behind the Anthropological museum.


A child feeding a flurry flock of birds in Hamburg near the Binnenalster. This was a carefree time before avian flu.


Another kid, half a world away, dreamily gazing from the top of the Great Wall at Huairong.


Time and haste on a Hongkong pedestrian overpass.


Time and haste again, looking down at the crowd from the second deck of a Hongkong bus.


An old man dutifully guarding an entrance to a mosque side room in Kairouan, Tunisia, sitting in the shade.


The Niagara Falls with a Maid of the Mist barge in the center.


My family, having crêpes at the Christmas market in Karlsruhe, Germany.


Stefan and me, without braking the summer toboggan near Waischenfeld, Germany.
