Hi Mike,
thanks for your articles and providing us with photographs. A suggestion regarding the huge size (17×2MB=34MB!) of the embedded images in this post: Use a program like IrfanView (free) to generate thumbnails in one go for all pictures (batch conversion). The resulting size would be somewhat smaller (17×10kB=170kB, approx. 0.5% of the actual size). And links to the full resolution pictures. Or you may want to check the plugin directory of Wordpress (software to run this blog) for a image gallery.
My first visit here, found the blog accidentally really, and I just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed my visit and had some good reads while here
