The TIME LAPSE pdf files should be downloaded to your computer and then opened using Adobe Acrobat 5, 6, or 7. The ones from Ireland are from my sabbatical in Autumn 2003. If they open in your browser instead of downloading to your computer you may not get automatic, smooth transitions. In this case, try this: on an IBM PC you can download them by right-clicking on the links; on Mac hold down control and click and choose to download the files.
