Hello Mathelehrer2 and welcome to the forum.

I can’t speak for Hywel but I can say I was tantalised for a long time by the selection of pictures on the opening page. I don’t know if your precise question has been asked before but the simple answer is they may not be there.

Someone else will have to help you with your first picture. The second is from a set called, “Natalia Squared” that went onto the site as an update in April 2014 but has now gone – until it appears again in the Archives. There are several topics in the old Forum where Hywel explains all about the cost of bandwidth and the various ways all website owners control costs for everyone’s benefit. His involves not having everything up on the site at once.

Sometimes, the picture in the preview slideshow is from a set shot very recently that haven’t gone up at all yet. For example, I kept looking out for the set that included the one of Penny Lee in the countryside so was very pleased when “Captured Hiker” appeared on the site.

I hope Hywel doesn’t mind me saying that, yes, the preview slideshow is a bit of a teaser (or perhaps he would prefer tempter). The fact is that there are lots of good things inside that keep many of us here for a long time and I hope you are enjoying them.

Andrew
