How do I include an image tag that displays "numbers-01.html" in my code?

I thought I included them already in the code below :(

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
           <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
           <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

You've "colored outside the lines".

The challenge instructions say, "don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!" But your images are all wrapped in link ("a") elements.

Also, he states that the images are located in a folder called img and is calling a folder that doesn't exist in this context unless the challenge says so. 

      <ul>
        <li><img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="numbers-02.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="numbers-03.jpg" alt=""></li>
      </ul>

You're quite right, but the challenge will actually accept the answer even if you reference the images in an "img" folder.

Hi Amir,

The problem is that you have included <a> tags in each list item when you don't need to. You only need to include the images inside each list item. Please see the below code I used in the <section> tag to pass this challenge:

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

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
