At first the index page put me off a bit - I didn't get it... then I 
liked it and the presentation matched  the tone.
No problems with the text over in this kind of thing...  glad I upgraded 
my Flash on FIrefox but I couldnt
make the page work just clicking on it in  Netscape.

Understood - but still quite fun and to be honest I went through the
whole lot because it could be very quick. When I look at a gallery, the
speed of the thing is quite important to me. I like to choose how long I
dwell on a shot - and that can be less than a second, to well over a
minute, with everything in between.

I like flash, but my computer doesn't.  Finally got to a flashy
'puter, and I like these very much, including the presentation.

Touristy, perhaps, but fun and (to a non-Londoner) interesting.

 Bob, FWIW love the pics and love the presentation with the flash
 postcards - really cool. Hate the white text on the pics! Can't see a
 decent way to add the text unless it's black in the postcard margins,
 but that's not perfect either.
