Cameron, Thanks so much for taking the time to answer, actually I'm not trying to predict it (I'm still realistic..) i am trying to understand what API call will give me back the URL based on image id based on the assumption that in URL like this http://picasaweb.google.com/sfegan/NamibiaEtosha?feat=featured#5386972981658651970 the fragment represents the image id any suggestions?
