Your browser is most likely displaying a cached image rather than fetching a new image each time you refresh the page. You can solve this by clearing the cache in your browser. However, the next image that displays will also be cached.
In most browsers, you can temporarily disable cache by going into Developer Tools. If you'd like to know how to do this, feel free to ask. But you can be rest assured that this issue isn't at your fault. :)
Hope this helps!

it should be like this

I wouldn't recommend permanently disabling cache, as it's essential for efficient web browsing (such as loading frequently visited web pages faster.) But there are certainly ways to do it.
However, if you're using Chrome - a nifty feature can disable the cache while you're in developer mode. To do this, simply right-click the page with the 'placeimg' image, and select Inspect. You'll see several tabs along the top of the new window such as Element, Console, Sources etc. Select Network, and you'll see a checkbox below that reads "Disable cache."
You can then keep this checked until you've finished developing/testing the page. The 'placeimg' image will now change to a new image each time you refresh the page.
Most other browsers will also allow you to do this in a similar way. Let me know if you need any more help. :)
