Am I the only one that just sees white screen with a grey icon in the middle, instead of two photos, just above?
 
OP stated he closed his image hosting account...so any pics from there will no longer display.
If he still needs another hosting site, I'd suggest getting VIP membership on this site or try PBASE.COM which I've used since 2001... never had any issues with it.
 
well it looks like google photos doesn't want to play nice with the image loading feature here, the pictures were there.

sorry have to do some digging
 
A couple (not all) of the photos are showing now (for me, anyway)

Very nice job!
 
It seems i can't go back and edit the early posts to replace the missing pictures, so have settled to just show a before and after.
