Most of the  presentation enhancements on this site are managed by javascript. Whilst it isn't essential to enable javascript in order to view the site, it will ( I think ) greatly improve your viewing experience, e.g. image borders, collapsing menus etc.
Any controls referred to below are accessible from the left column ( below the menu ) providing the column is visible ( see first item below ).

    Where there is a Google Map on the page the location of the topic can be found by clicking the coloured marker ( balloon ) to the right of the information.
  • Managing Links
    Check the box in the left hand column if you would like all links ( external to this site ) to be opened in a new window ( Default=checked ).

  • Browser Window Size:
    This Site is best viewed at a browser window size of 1024 x 768 ( i.e., not really suited to widescreen displays )
    If you wish you can resize THIS browser window to one of the following sizes using the controls in left column: 1024 x 760 or 1280 x 1024 which will maintain the 'standard page' layout on a widescreen display. Please note this is a very temperamental control and may not always function correctly.

    You can adjust the size of the main body of text here by using the Larger Text or Smaller Text buttons where shown on the page. Any changes are not permanent and do not carry forward to subsequent pages viewed.
  • Search the Site
    Use the link in the left column to perform a Google Search for any word / topic on this site. The  Google / Site search results will open in the same window, so you will need to use the 'Back' button on your browser if you choose not to select an offered link.

This section contains just some of the photographs I've taken of the Algarve taken over the last few years.
There is no particular arrangement of the layout, or reason for that matter for the more obscure subject matters, just 'pics' snapped at the time.
These photographs are of places other than Praia da Luz ( which has its own page ). Some of these photographs appear throughout the site on various pages detailing the locations e.g. the Towns and Villages A - L and M - Z.
Apologies for some of the earlier pictures as the quality of the enlargements could have been better. Also you will find the occasional duplicated photograph where I have re-sampled an 'old' original and come up with a completely different colour balance so I have left the pair of them ( mainly for my benefit ).
