"#ExpandPath('./images')#/#url.id#"
.. means current directory, so ExpandPath('.') is simply gettnig the full path
of the current directory.
Hence './images' means the images path off the current directory.
Not relevant to this, but useful to know:
... means parent directory. So you can do ExpandPath('../something') to get to
a something directory at the same level as your upload directory.
For this reason, it can be a good idea to ensure any user-submitted variables
do not have .. within them, as this can potentially be dangerous in certain
circumstances.
