Click on the Shamus Town image to the left and the slide show gallery will open as a new window. Select a slide show and enjoy.

Once a slide show starts you can navigate back to the opening gallery by clicking on the gallery symbol (a box with two rows of three rectangles inside) on the bottom left. On the bottom right the two vertical bars symbol stops the slide show.

When stopped, that symbol becomes a solid arrowhead and will restart the slide show.

Once stopped, the plus, minus and arrow+bar symbols on the right and left allow you to move forward or back one image at a time, or in groups of 20 images.

All slide shows open from the same two gallery windows.
