Hello, You've accomplished an adequate job in the alt statement of describing the process of presenting the 3 photographs on neaglesrock.com. Still, I have some difficulty anytime one indicates, as you have, that no important information is conveyed in the image(s). If this is the case, why is the photo there in the first place? In fact, doesn't it seem a discriminatory practice to have the image "viewable" to those who can actually see it on-screen but to indicate to others that no important information is presented therein? I understand that "timeliness" of information is an important accessibility concern; yet, it seems to me that a workable solution for this presentation is to simply link to a "web page" that contains the 3 separate photos and meaningful alts or descriptions in context. I've done exactly that for a similar presentation; i.e., a randam photos Javascript: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/about/index.shtml http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/about/op-foos.html Bill Williams
