Hi Scott, love your work, thanks. The A11 episode images don’t have any explanations that I can see – wonder if they got misplaced.
Also if it were easy to put each description with each pic – rather than a list at the start – it would be great – but can understand if it’s too much work.
Keep it up and thanks again!

Hi Martin, thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I just checked, and it looks like when you click on each photo, you need to click on the Comment (word bubble) icon at the bottom, and then you get the description. I’ll try to fix this on the latest Episodes so the information is more easily available. Thanks!
Thanks Scott – that’s awesome now. M
