I've been pretty busy (traveling) lately and just catching up to processing some of my latest photos. Here's one of the cityview from the Ramada hotel in Cheongju:

A shot across Tribeca, New York, towards the financial district. Taken from the Holiday Inn Downtown Manhattan/Soho. Pity about the hotel's dirty windows!

Europe and Africa across the Strait en route Paris-Casablanca
This is one of my sentimental favourites, if perhaps not my best.
Many thanks to sbm12 for a very instructive post on how to embed a picasaweb album image.
(BTW, I apologize for this off-topic post, I thought I was posting in the "Why I love flying, in an image..." thread)

If anyone can tell me how to actually embed the photo in the post I'd appreciate it. I suspect that the forum code doesn't like the picasaweb url format.

Code:
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/kraft.michaels/Reunion2006/photo#5063697458581166914"> <img src="http://lh3.google.com/kraft.michaels/RkXeAozHW0I/AAAAAAAAACU/-B3YJfDAa88/s400/IMG_1074.JPG" /> </a>
Code:
<img src="http://lh3.google.com/kraft.michaels/RkXeAozHW0I/AAAAAAAAACU/-B3YJfDAa88/s400/IMG_1074.JPG" />
Using the above process I end up with the following URL for your picture of crossing the Straits of Gibraltar:
Code:
http://lh6.google.com/rob.scaife/RxocR7lAotI/AAAAAAAACMs/LczZn9DOpfw/s400/IMG_2008.jpg
The other way to get the correct URL for the image would be to right-click on it and choose properties. In the "Address (URL)" field you'll have something that looks like this:
Code:
http://lh6.google.com/rob.scaife/RxocR7lAotI/AAAAAAAACMs/LczZn9DOpfw/IMG_2008.jpg?imgmax=720
I hope this helps!

Many thanks! I looked at the source, but thought that the url looked like something temporary that might change with each page view, but since they're giving it as the permanent link clearly it's not.
And I never would have guessed the picture sizing parameter.
Cheers,
Rob
