I have put some photos I took on 2004 January 18 between 09:27 and 11:36 AM. They were all taken in front of my "Quartzsite Cottage" and down the street. They are in the order taken, right out of the camera with no computer modifications. They average about 150 Kbytes each. (Too big for fast downloading.)
