Long desk descriptions

Hello,

 

My thoughts on the long desk descriptions are as follows:

 

To begin with I am a screen reader user.  I enjoy having pictures described
in simple yet concise terms that appropriately fit the context of the page.
If a long description is necessary having a description open in a new windo
works well, however, I have found that in a lot of cases this link is not
coded correctly and the description page does not open.  So I prefer either
having the descriptions contained within the content because if the
description needs to be long the material  probably needs to be shared with
everyone.  If it is not appropriate to include the description within the
content then it is most likely not needed.  Thank you.
