You have a lot of extra code that isn't required for the code challenge. You don't need the a or p tags at all. Also, on your closing ul tag, you have an extra > which could be what's causing the error. Sometimes the error messages don't exactly explain what the issue in your code is. Your code should look like this:

    <section>

      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>

    </section>

I left out all the extra stuff that was pre-loaded in the code challenge for readability.

Thanks that does it. You're the best!
