Pictures
Click on any of the small pictures below, and a pop-up window with a large
version of the picture will open. Most pictures will take approximately 10
seconds to download with a regular dialup connection.
Note: Some browsers such as AOL feature "Accelerated
Browsing" or "High Speed Browsing". This technology has nothing
to do with DSL or other high speed connections, but instead compresses all
image files so that web pages download quicker. Unfortunately, this also results
in very poor image quality. To fix AOL, see instructions at the bottom
of this page.
