Hi there,
Don't know if you knew about some new pictures in the gateway/images directory, which include some lines of text in their source

"And in death, are you eyes open? Your ears? Your mind?" Shinpu asked her, reaching the end of the bridge. He lifted his arm from around her shoulders. "They are, yet I see nothing, hear nothing, and I have no new thoughts save for those that haunt me," she answered, shaking her head.


Text in error02.jpg
Shinpu rose from his place of meditation, and traveled down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, there was a bridge, crossing a stream. As he walked over the wooden planks of the bridge, he came upon weeping woman. "Woman, why do you weep?" Shinpu asked of the distressed woman. "I seek in death what I surrendered in life," she replied.


Text in error03.jpg
Shinpu Ofuda sat upon the hill for many hours, meditating the nature of the universe. Shinpu reflected that he had done many good things in his time, but also knew that many of the good things that he had done were necessary because of the many terrible things he had done in his time.


Text in error04.jpg
Shinpu blessed her, then pointed to the earth. "Be free," he commanded, raising his arm to the sky. "Grieve your life no more, and leave this plane in peace." With that, the woman vanished, weeping no more.

Text in error05.jpg
Shinpu realised that he was speaking with a spirit, then, but he was not alarmed. "What is it that you surrendered in life that you cannot find in death?" he asked, putting his arm around the spirit-woman. "I murdered my children for what I thought was truth, for something that appeared to be a more noble cause," she replied, weeping.


Text in error06.jpg
Sshinpu Ofuda continued onwards, and he did not forget the woman he had encountered, for he felt that he had learned a valuable lesson that day.


Text in error07.jpg
Shinpu waited for her to continue. After a moment, she collected herself. "In life I closed my eyes so that I could see no evil, I closed my ears so that I could hear no evil sound, I closed my mind so that my intentions would remain pure.

 		Piecing the picture together in the order those text excerpts would go leads to a mess. It's just a window, I guess it's not important.

 		Hello,
I am new to these fourms; so if I post this wrong I am sorry!
I was bored and so I put these together as best as I could get. I tried to
match up the doors and molding. I it looks like a closet to me and the corner
it is in somehow feels familiar. But then it could just be me. I had to flip the
strips as they were all upside-down. Also I don't know enough about stegging
but the 4th strip has an odd look to it. Hope this helps in some way.





Oh and thank you to the staff for the very cool and absorbing site!

 		The odd look is due to the paragraphs which are hidden inside the picture. I'm not sure whether or not they can be destegged, because I didn't try. They are perfectly visible in a text editor.

 		Corrected picture
Here's the picture with the text removed from the image files, assembled, rotated (I did this instead of flipping, either could be correct), and brightened a bit. Still doesn't seem to show anything important, but here it is anyway.
