Nice work, some really excellent pictures ! One suggestion though: I think you should try to make small sized thumbnails of your pictures. The ones that are now present are in fact of the same size as the full images, which makes it slow to open a thumbnail page. Try saving thumbnails at 72 dpi in JPEG 3 size, that would help a lot I think. Kind regards, CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC G'day Pascal, Thanks. The decision was deliberate. I wanted to load the images into cache so that travelling through the home page was "quick". So far most people have commented on how fast my page arrives --- iff they wait for the thumbnails. The idea is to have a quite coffee, then you can race through the big images. It won't suit everyone, but it is an experiment on my behalf, and one that some people seem to like. I have also been experimenting with "invisible" images. The idea is to have an arresting page, with full size images displayed as one by one pixel, loading in the background. Then the rest of the voyage is so much faster. Cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
