Picture of the Month Archive

When I started the website in 2001, the Picture of the Month was intended to be a high-quality, desktop sized versi on of some of the best pictures from the site. Over the last 3 years, image size has gradually increased, and so I have decided to abandon the picture of the month and include more 'high quality' photos in the general photo-reports. Plus, updating the site every month - even if there wasn't a new picture - was a bit of a pain! However, all the pics used so far are still stored on the site and are listed below.
