Dom, that might explain why they loaded quickly for me now then. See my 
other reply. The gallery does slow down sometimes, as well.
There are a LOT of pictures uploaded. We LUG folk are very lucky to have 
this facility provided free by Brian.
Cheers
Hoppy

Dom,

I think what Hugh is saying is that it takes a long time to open your  
photos.  Not usre if it is the size or what but they do take about 4  
minutes to open, so you may need to resize them for the web.  Great  
shots though.
