How do you set an attribute to a path that goes one level out of one folder and into another.

Hello! I am suck on a problem in html basic. the problem is "Set the <img> element's src attribute to a path that goes one level out of the current folder and inside a folder named img" I tried 2 diffrent ways to complete the task. 1 by changing the id in the h1 atrbute to img then putting img into the src with a back slash. ive also tried just putting the img in by ../img inside the "" for the src portion

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="img.">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Your very close!All you need to do is add one more dot and that will = a one level and put the img behind the dot (: for example:

 <img src="../img/logo.png" alt="Site logo"> // like this right here

Your not going to have to change the h1 at all. and you have the right idea using the ../img in the img tag, try it like this:

 <img src="../img/logo.png" alt="Site logo">
