Here is the message I receive:
"You do not have permission to access /pictures1/ on this server."

This is a link to an actual file.  The web server looked over the permissions 
to the pictures6 directory, and the Ryan_Hockey.jpg file, and liked them, so
it served the image.

A href="./pictures6/">

This link is probably a link to a directory.  The web server can be
configured to generate a directory listing if you give it a URL that
points at a directory, rather than a file.  I would think this would be
turned off in the config file by default, as many folks would consider
it a security risk to willy nilly allow folks 'behind the curtain'.
This is most likely why you get an error.

Either change the config to allow directory listings, or better yet,
build an /pictures6/index.html file that has links to each of the
pictures that you want to display.

Another possibility is that you might have a /pictures6/index.html file,
but it's permissions are set incorrectly.  You'll have to tell us a bit
more, perhaps.
