Located on the north/eastern coastline of Italy, placed on 118 islands with 200 canals that are spanned by 400 bridges is the secretive city of Venice!.

Hello, Alex, sorry, but I can't see the photos. It may be this problem:

1) they're not JPEG

2)They're too big

3)They aren't uploaded to Imageshack

    Thanks my friends for commenting

    Asturianu - You cant see the pics, well, they arent big, they are JEP files and its photobucket.com that i have uploaded the images from, but gshmails can see them...

    Gshmails - Cheers for the first proper comment! LOL

    My Friends! - Thanks so much for commeting!

    Mikeaut1, Schulmanator and Blondetwiggy can all see the pics, while FredGinger, Yoman3 and patriots_a228 cant see the pics, so its a draw!.

    I seroiusly dont have an idea about what might be the problem, if all else continues, ill take drastic action.

    But please stay tuned for more updates and you never know, the pics might be there!.

    Thanks once again for commenting my friends!.

    ~Alex~

    And 'hello' to you Jaq as well!, thanks for commenting, ive sent you a private message about the pics.

    The problem is dead simple: Your pictures are NOT jpegs. They are uncompressed PNGs, too big at ~ 900 kb each, and the Internet Explorer has problems with PNG files. I can see your pictures just fine, because I'm viewing this site with Opera. Firefox users will see your pictures, too.

    I strongly recommend converting them to jpegs. I interrupted the loading process because it just takes too long. By converting them to the jpeg format, they should go down to ~ 100 kB in file size, and they will be visible on any browser.

    From the little bit that I saw, it looks interesting, but the canal water clashes with the sea water - I think there's a water mod out there that changes the sea water to the exact same colour as oppie's canals - you could give that one a try. 2.gif

    Cool! Venice is an amazing city. I like the Doge's palace. Has anyone read the Thief Lord?

    Homeandaway, I looked at the slide show, the city is really looking nice but is the water really greenish? If so please consider getting a different water mod, that one makes it look like the water is really really poluted...
