By writing {{ align.forloop.counter0 }} you are actually asking for the
"forloop" attribute on the "align" object and then the "counter0"
attribute on that. Which isn't what you want.
{{ forloop.counter0 }} is mostly for display purposes (displaying the
index of a list) and testing (is it equal to 0 or whatever).

Look at the {% cycle %} template tag. It's designed for precisely this
purpose.
