29 Jul 08 - While a few loyal members care to contribute photos showing the unique character of the region - others just dump anything from their holiday trip to Switzerland. I'm tired of explaining the group rules individually.
So from now on, photos from other regions of Switzerland will be removed from the pool without notice.
If you don't know whether your photo is from this region, the Switzerland group will suit you much better, anyway.
