CHANGES
PHOTOGRAPH SIZE
When this site was launched on 28 August 2002, computers
were less powerful, monitors smaller and Internet access slower than today. A
design decision was made to keep the file size the photographs small for faster
download. Advances in computing and telecommunications allow future photographs
to be a little bigger in frame size and file size. The process of upgrading all
photographs started on 15 October 2006. On 22 March 2009, it was decided to make
a further upgrade to sizes even though the previous upgrade was not completed.
NOW AND THEN
Where practicable and copyright permitting, there are 'now
and then' pages in which a recent photo is displayed with one taken from the same
spot years previously. The Now and Then photographs are:
