Ich habe die Bilder zu verschiedenen Dateien archiviert, da es nicht möglich gewesen wäre, eine große archivierte Datei hochzuladen.

Die Downloadlinks lauten wie folgt:

Zwar können die Dateien kostenlos und ohne Bedenken runtergeladen werden, allerdings muss man, bevor man eine weitere Datei runterlädt, jeweils 180 Min. warten.

Abgesehen davon braucht man das Programm „WinRar“, um die heruntergeladenen Dateien zu „entpacken“ und die Bilder somit zu erhalten.

Dieses Programm kann man hier runterladen, ebenfalls bedenkenlos und natürlich kostenlos (> http://www.chip.de/downloads/WinRAR-64-Bit_37666786.html).
