Amazing pictures. But it's a bit frustrating that there are so many links in the text on that page, that it seems impossible to figure out just exactly what the pictures are showing. Maybe if I had an hour or two to spare it would become clear. But could someone please just provide a link to text that explains just what the pictures (toward the bottom part of the page) are showing?
