Dear Alpine-L members, I received a message from Marijn van den Brink in the Netherlands, to send a message to Alpine-L on his behalf. I'm pleased to oblige his request:
"Maybe is this an interesting site for Alpine-L members http://photos.v-d-brink.eu/ (member of the NARGS, AGS, SRGC, NRW) Kind regards, Marijn van den Brink, the Netherlands" This is an understatement, as it is surely one of the most comprehensive and remarkable alpine plant photo galleries on the internet. Marijn's link above will lead you to photo galleries of various types, from Mountaineering to Sports to Plants, but it is the Flora and Fauna galleries that we're most interested in as alpine plant enthusiasts. So please do visit the following Flora and Fauna galleries link, it has 73 galleries with a whopping 18,529 high quality photos! Get lost in the galleries of magnificent and esoteric mountain plants. I've spent so many hours scouring through the galleries; it's fantastic to see what these plant species look like in their native habitat. http://photos.v-d-brink.eu/Flora-and-Fauna The galleries are displayed in a program called SmugMug; well organized and presented. One of the more powerful features is to be at the "root location", such as the Flora and Fauna link cited above, then use the search function... go ahead, try it, search on something like Corydalis, Androsace, or Acantholimon, to get a new multi-page "search gallery" of what it finds in all the galleries collectively. A great resource, congratulations to world traveler Marijn van den Brink for making such a grand resource available to all.
