Water Sampling at Brasso Seco

This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.

Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails).

Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do.

Tip: Install the official WP plugin 'Jetpack' by Automattic and enable 'Photon'. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It's an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won't be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. It'll also make Justified Image Grid high resolution display or Retina ready by devicepx.js! Read more at: jetpack.me

Another possibility is that you are using W3 Total Cache to minify JS - turn that feature off.

Team Adopt A River once again made the scenic trek to the pristine Brasso Seco community to engage in a Water Sampling Exercise. Members met with the President of the Brasso Seco/Paria Village Council, Mr. Winston Maraj and they also met with the President of the Brasso Seco/Morne La Croix Police Youth Club, Mr. Jeremy Salina.

The sampling exercise took place at three sites. The first site located near the “smoke chicken factory” and the second site opposite the christophine fields are both within the Brasso Seco area. The third site, located upper Marianne (home of the Ganga Dussehra Festival), falls within the Morne La Croix Area.

This exercise is another important stage in the building of an Adopt A River project in Brasso Seco.
