Come back?
Honestly, have you ever had a need to go back to images after you've
google/binged them?
Can you imagine a use case scenario?

I would caution STRONGLY against the "bottomless scroll," however.
Bing.com
has been using it in their image search, presumably as one way to
differentiate themselves from Google.
It's been a usability disaster.
The page draws dynamically, making it difficult for a user to
develop any
spatial memory of the images they have found. As the user scrolls,
they
encounter a behavior they were not expecting from a scroll bar, and
the
ability to intuitively understand where one is in the results set is
removed
by the lack of location cues.
Once a user leaves the page, they cannot return to their selection
on the
page via use of the back button. If they scrolled through several
"pages" of
images, they will come back to find themselves looking at different
images
than when they left (after waiting several seconds for the page to
redraw).
