How to change the background image while scrolling

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<div class="bg-image img1"></div>
<div class="bg-image img2"></div>
<div class="bg-image img3"></div>
<div class="bg-image img4"></div>
<div class="bg-image img5"></div>
<div class="bg-image img6"></div>
<div class="bg-text">TEXT</div>

Second step - Add CSS:

body, html {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
{}
* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
{}
.bg-image {
  /* Full height */
  height: 50%;
  /* Center the image and scale appropriately */
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
{}
/* Images used */
.img1 { background-image: url("img_snow.jpg"); }
.img2 { background-image: url("img_girl.jpg"); }
.img3 { background-image: url("img_lights.jpg"); }
.img4 { background-image: url("img_nature.jpg"); }
.img5 { background-image: url("img_forest.jpg"); }
.img6 { background-image: url("img_woods.jpg"); }
/* Place the text in the center of the page/image */
.bg-text {
  background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4); /* Black semi-transparent */
  color: white;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 80px;
