Then, by adding the following snippet to your HTML page, 

<script>
function processResponse(data)
{
        load_slides( data );
            start_slides();
                  
}

ajaxSlideshowService.getImages(processResponse, "http://finance.xs4all.nl/images/ajax-slideshow-demo/" );
</script>
you will see the pictures as a slideshow, possibly configured with the so-called Ken Burns effects, see also the demo.
