Default Picasaweb, Google+ and link-to-photo

is it impossible to create a link to a
single photo in a Google Picasaweb album?


Can't see any way OTHER than delving into the source of the page, e.g.


http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5ySbISGdPYQ/TvQ7QFl7QVI/AAAAAAAAPzk/FiuxGIkDBBY/s400/20090422204726.jpg

Used to be able to with with old Google photos but since getting a
Google+ account, viewing a photo is now an Ajax "pop up"...


You can SHARE it with others, but that assumes they're G+ users in one
of your circles.


Thanks to everyone for confirming I'm not mad...


The main attraction for Google was Picasa as a way to organise stuff offline
and then sync (ie when I am jacked into a gig link at work).

But they seem to have truely f**ked up PicasaWeb. As you noticed, it is
optimised for G+ sharing and bugger all else.

And the URLs suck.

Been playing with Flickr and am trying dfo for linux as a picasa alternative
- unfortunately, seems to crash on trying to upload anything
