Again my thanks to Chad Everett! He worked with my host, Site5, to get thumbnails to work on my blog again. I had almost given up.
To demo this effect you’ll see a thumbnail on the left. This is of a trip we made to Wildwood, NJ last Saturday. They had a Renaissance fair and the Vorlon Wife wanted to see it. The photo you see are two people jousting.
I was rather concerned at the jousting as it looked like you could get hurt with those sticks. The broke a few of them, but never knocked each other off their horses.
I later inspected one of the remnants of the pike and found it was made of what looked like balsa wood. They also looked like they had predetermined weak points so they could easily break. Still, balsa wood, under the right circumstances can be very strong in compression.
They had two guys giving a medieval humorous color commentary during the joust and they were pretty funny.
It was a nice day on the beach as, even with the bright sun, there was a cool breeze blowing. Later we went up on the boardwalk and it was stifling hot.
The thumbnail looks great. Is the image saved twice on the server? What is the size of the image that you upload?
