Well, nice idea. On the other hand perhaps I should spilt it into
backgrount-tillea-iceland
backgrount-tillea-france
backgrount-tillea-germany
because I think I would have trouble to rate the images in any reasonable
way. I found out that other people like other images much more than my
favourite ones.

Seems reasonable. I'm waiting to further suggestions/opinions.
Kind regards
