I'm not so sure. That page relies on a:active to make the overlay visible. As 
log a you keep the mouse button down, the whole thing will remain visible – the 
a will remain in an active state. But release the mouse button, and the overlay 
vanishes.
Of course, one could argue that the <a> still should remain in a focussed state 
(in which case the styling still works, as the page author has styled the 
a:focus to match the a:active state). The question is: does releasing the mouse 
button when the overlay covers the <a> keep that focussed state, or does that 
action transfer the focus to the overlay - which then vanishes because the <a> 
is no longer focussed nor 'active' ?

That gallery page works more or less OK for the keyboard user, with one 
(serious) caveat: the user has to cycle through the whole gallery before being 
able to escape out of the overlay and return to the page.
