This site has some 600 pages, showing around 14,000 pictures, often in the form
of slideshows.
Its objective is to show my photographs,
many of which are large (100k or more).
It was built to please me; I hope it pleases you.
The text is almost entirely in English. There are few links to pages outside the site. It is not a commercial site. No cookies are used. No data is collected about you (so there's no privacy page!).
The DaiGlobe section of the site has its own homepage. You can return to this page from there.
The site was designed for a 1024 x 768 pixel screen. The pages may not be formatted correctly if you change the size of the characters;
I designed fixed layouts with fixed font sizes.
You must allow Javascript – which is used on almost all pages (even including this one!).
I have tried to make the pages work under Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer but occasionally there may be problems.
You can copy the photos and scripts, but please don't use them commercially without mentioning where they came from.

Who is Dai?
Just another person who has had the time to make a website!
Born and brought up in the English Midlands,
most of my working life was spent supporting the system software of
NCR mainframe computers,
mainly in the French-speaking area of Switzerland.
After a reorganisation I began programming in the Zurich area, but several years later, with many travel projects in mind, I stopped. Later I combined work with travel by giving lectures on information technology at one Chinese university in 2004 and English at another during the academic year 2005-6.

DaiGlobe
I live in Switzerland but, over the years, I've had the chance to travel in several countries of the world.
China is a country where I have spent many months. I've had much pleasure there but, as a westerner, I have also found it quite irritating at times.
But have a look for yourself at the records of my journeys. You can see more about them if you click on this button.
I took over 99% of the photographs myself.

This is an extension to DaiGlobe after I removed from the net the daijones.ch site. I was looking for a way of documenting where I have been recently and what I did during the time. I often use DaiGlobe to remind me of when I went on longer journeys.
It may not satisfy you and probably won't satisfy me either!

bonus
As a 'bonus' you can find several slideshows for Windows.
You can't start them from here but you can download them and run them using Windows Explorer (double-click as usual).
There are 3 keyboard controls you may want to remember:
Esc: to exit from the show
Pause: to linger on a photo
PageDown: to continue the automatic display after a pause.

au gré des saisons
I take photos throughout the year even though they don't fit into any existing category.
This is where you'll (possibly) find some.
I hope to make them larger than my usual screen limits so you can view them full-screen.
But that does mean they'll take longer to load.
