each image name in any corner. This is one of the
most advanced image viewers available today, free of
charge. Ideal for viewing your own photos as
well. |

The slide shows play directly off the USB Flash
Drive, about 14GB in size, so no need to laod them
into your computer. |

Most of the photos have been taken at the best time of year for that image, and when it is good sunny days with the sun in the right direction. Some photos took 3 or 4 goes at getting the best setting, i.e. sun and flowers. Some photos took up to 10 hours hiking over mountains up to 2,800ft. One mountain had to be climbed 3 times to get all the images needed. The hikes normally had to be done via the steep routes to get the best images. |

You can see some of the images on this website in
the towns, islands and walking pages. There are many
more images on the disk than on the website, that are
larger and a higher quality, as all the images on the
website have been reduced in size and quality so they
will load faster on the internet. |
