That\u2019s not obvious to find since\u00a0<a title=\"View community guidelines\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/help\/guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr community guidelines<\/a>\u00a0require a link back to the original Flickr photo page so the photographer and other information about the photo is available.

Look for the full URL path to the image file. Ours looks like this:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7017\/6631381167_2929697926.jpg<\/p>\n<p>Copy and paste that into your map note or pop-up configuration.
