Why does the #wrapper, with a max-width: 940px; not flex to the larger size of the contained images that have a width of 1024px?
As the images inside #wrapper are bigger than this containing div I thought either the #wrapper might flex to the larger size or the images might be reduced to the smaller size.

If you want to cut off the part of the image that extends beyond the wrapper, you can set "overflow: hidden
" on the wrapper.
If you'd rather have the image shrink to fit inside the wrapper, you can set "width: 100%
" (or "max-width: 100%
") on the image.

I just wanted to know the mechanics of it and you've explained that. Your tweaks really help too.
