Multiple images on the same page

Your browser might cache the images when you request the same URL multiple times on the same page. You can resolve this by adding a meaningless querystring to the URL. So, for example...

<img src="http://loremflickr.com/320/240?random=1" />
<img src="http://loremflickr.com/320/240?random=2" />
<img src="http://loremflickr.com/320/240?random=3" />
