Italy trip

Thanks to the urging of the 5count masses (all 3 of you) I have finally assembled some photos from my trip to Italy. With the help of my "web-guru" Brent Ferraro, there is now a slick little slide show available on 5count.com. I have broken the trip into ten folders, each one containing photos from a specific part of Italy. The ten folders result in over 300 images for your veiwing pleasure, so take your time and peruse them at your leisure.

Below is a screen shot of what you'll find when you arrive at 5count.com.



Here is a quick idiots guide to navigating the slide show:
(1) Click on a rectangle to take yourself to the corresponding folder.
(2) There are eight locations on screen one and two more on screen two. Click "next screen" to navigate to screen two.
(3) Once in a folder, the automated slide show starts automaticly (thus the term - automated). To pause the automation and go through the images at your own speed, click the pause button in the lower-right hand corner of the window. To restart the slide show, simply click on the play button that appeared in the same location.
(4) To scroll through the images on your own, click the "+" or the "-" buttons at either end of the thumbnails at the bottom of the window.
(5) To only view the images that interest you, and skip the ones that don't, you're able to view a slightly larger thumbnail simply by hovering your cursor over one of the thumbnails at the bottom. Click on the disired thumb and go directly to that image. * by doing this, the automation of the slidshow will be automaticly paused if it hadn't been paused already.
(5) While an image is displayed in the main window, a caption of the image is available by hovering your cursor over the image (no clicking required). Many hours of research were finding the names of the things I photographed, so hover over those images and you might learn something.
(6) To return to the main menu click on the little box icon located at the lower-left corner of the window

For those of you itching to see photos of Alp D'Huez or my summit of the Passo di Stelvio, you'll have to wait a bit longer, my travel companion still has the cycling-related images in his posesssion...I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime enjoy the pics, let me know what you think, stay tuned!

The pony express could've gotten them to me by now...even with a lame horse.

Just kidding, I'll try to pick 'em up this week.
