Photos are arranged in chronological order with the most recent photos first. Select which thumbnail you want to see by clicking on it. To get back to this page, use your browser back arrow. Each batch of thumbnails has a brief description. A screen size of 800x600 pixels is used as a base but 640x480 and 1024x768 screens work fine too.
