Embedding photos from Google Photos?

[2Btoo]

I am aware of the existing chatter on the site about embedding photos in posts. However I keep my photos in Google Photos and can see no way of embedding images from there into a PH post. I can create a link to the photo but it doesn't give me a .jpg (or .gif or whatever) file reference, it gives me something like this:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/cRMpnKp328mukJAAA

Is there any way of putting such images in a PH post? (Google led me to a solution from ctrlq.org which doesn't work.)

Thanks.

I don't believe Google Photos allows embedding of links in forums and the like.

[2Btoo]

Interesting - so Google make it verboten? Didn't know that. Thanks.

Any idea why not? It's a big restriction.

Is the image above visible to all? Just checking as I can see it

[2Btoo]

Yes! Yes yes yes! I can see it!

Clever boy. Thank you very much. Now how did you do that?

The ctrlQ solution?

Let me try one. Same car.

Chuff me, it works!

(I'm sure it didn't work when I tried it earlier. Thanks for your help 2 sMoKiN bArReLs - really appreciated.)

anyone know why the same doesn't work on flikr?

Flikr allows embedding and the link above is from the embed option in flier?

every time i try to paste the link i get a 403 error here?

Have you tried right clicking on the image and copying the address that way?

No bud, I assume you are using a PC?

I’m using an IPad, so don’t get that option!

In Flickr you need to select the 'share photo' option, then copy the BB Code they provide. Thus:
