Almost definitely yes. But you have not been very specific about what you want.

A less-conventional solution, if you have a web site, is one of the power-point-like web presentations. Here are example presentations of two different technologies: Slidy and S5.

You mentioned notepad, so you're probably running Windows. If you install Cygwin, you can write a small bash script to run in a bash shell (a very powerful replacement for the DOS/CMD window) that would pop up a picture, wait and pop up another. I just wrote this little script that I ran just now. It's very limited, but it works.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
IMAGES=(
  "cat-with-mice-on-head.jpg"
  "MSlogo-big.jpg"
  "shed-old-side.jpg"
)

cd ~/img  ||  exit              # Change to my directory with images
for image in "${IMAGES[@]}"; do
    qiv "$image" &              # Display the image with the "qiv" program
    sleep 2.5                   # Pause 2.5 seconds
    kill $(jobs -p)             # Stop displaying the image
done

And of course, you can write a python script with notepad.
