Slides of London and England
These photos are 950 x 713 resolution, to fill nearly completely most computer screens.  They depict places of historical or cultural interest in England.  I took them during the winter and spring 2004.  They are in the public domain, and you are welcome to copy them or use them for any purpose. The versions posted here are about 0.7 megapixels, and are suitable for screen viewing, but not for making high-quality prints. The originals, suitable for printing, are 5 megapixels in size; if you need them, just e-mail me and I can send them to you.

Here's a hint for viewing the photos: press F11 on your keyboard to minimize the Internet Explorer browser header, thus allowing more space for the pictures themselves. When you're finished viewing photos, just press F11 again to return the browser header to normal.  This works in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (which I recommend).
