Answer 1

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var cnt=0, bg;
var $body = jQuery('body');
var arr = ['secondbg.jpg','sartulebis-archeva2.png'];

animate = function(){

}
var bgrotater = setInterval(function() {
    if (cnt==2) cnt=0;
    bg = 'url("http://yalcingroup.ge/test/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/' + arr[cnt] + '")';
    cnt++;
    jQuery('#background_cycler').animate({opacity:1}, 2000, function(){
        $body.css('background-image', bg);
    });


    jQuery('#background_cycler').animate({opacity:0}, 2000);
},10000);

});
