A picture of the old logging road that goes through my woods. One of
the local farmers has a four gang team of oxen and he goes over the
road in the Spring and Mid-Winter with an antigue "snow plow" -
basically two rollers to pack the road for the horsie set who like to
ride the trail.

The copse where I used to set up to sight down on a birch tree stand
when I was still actively hunting.

For you animal lovers - found the tracks - no blood and the tracks
were evenly spaced. No harm, no foul.
The first opened magnificently. The second was quite slow.

Same here. First one opened fine.
Got tired of waiting for the 2nd and 3rd.

Not surprised! Tom, you need to do something about the file sizes.
Going up to the parent directory got me this:

_C070235.png is 8 megapixels. You really ought to warn us if its much
over 4. Haven't even looked at the other two. For testing purposes I
STRONGLY reccomend reducing image sizes by 50% in each direction. We
aren't printing your work out and dont really need to be able to zoom un
so far.
Jpeg is normally the format of choice for the web for natural
photographic images because its compression loss is well tailored to the
human visual system. PNG comes into its own when you need pixel accurate
reproduction, e.g. historic documents, technical diagrams ect. and as an
archive format thats more portable than RAW files.
N.B. Alpha channel support for PNG *SUCKS* pre IE7 and support for PNG
only got introduced at all in IE5.5 so tecno-luddites *will* miss out.
I know now - like I said, just messing around. I do normally warn
about large file sizes because folks don't always look.
Besides - it's your fault anyway - you suggested .png. :)
Just kidding - thanks - appreciate it.
