Puzzles

This page contains a number of photo quiz's themed on Norfolk Broads photos.
They may require local knowledge, boating/sailing knowledge or just a keen eye. (Each one is marked as to the skill required.) When you click the thumbnail photo, a larger image appears in a new window for you to scrutinize it more easily.
Watch out for Internet Explorer, once the picture has loaded, it may automatically resize to fit a smaller window, usually resulting in a much smaller image for you to view. To overcome this, move the mouse over the picture and then pause for a second or so, and a button will appear in the bottom right hand corner. Click this, and the image will redraw at full size, allowing you to scroll the image at the highest definition.
 
Please feel free to copy, print and use these pictures for any purpose other than republication or commercial gain.
