A couple ideas with flexbox:
*****Download some free images and put them in your image folder******************

flex-direction: column;

Row (FLEX)
*,
*::before,
*::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
font-size: 62.5%;
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
flex-wrap: wrap;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.img-container {
margin: 2rem 1rem;
width: 45%;
height: 500px;
align-self: center;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
play around with some flex-box properties and see how it changes.

13,014 PointsIf you are talking about the src attribute on the img tag I downloaded those from pexels and moved them into my img folder. Pexels. Also a heads up it looks like the footer is outside the body tag.
