File path Help! HTML

I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I'm a little fuzzy on how the file path works with ../

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="./img/logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>

You are super close. To go back a directory level you need two fullstops.
