Mystery photos Introduction

Mystery photos
Enter the section where the latest photos are on-line. No site is of course complete without at least a fair amount of photos. I have tried to credit the owners of the photos where I could, but the list is not complete. If I have made an infringement of copyright, please mail me and I will remove the photo(s) in question.

The Specials-section of this page will contain a number of pages dedicated to a certain theme. I hope to mainly fill these with postcards and photos from personal collections. If you have any photos to contribute, please mail me. You will ofcourse be fully credited as the owner of the photos.

Solved mystery photos
Previous mystery photos are usually stored here.
