Thaks for your commetns and suggestions, John. I completely agree with you
re having the all pics on a single page. I had already planned that the
next iteration of the site will be to split the images into their own pages.
Being a complete novice at this, I have to figure out how to do it and have
a bit of free time to implement it.
