About 2/3's down they'll be a file named something like "farm8.staticflickr.com" This is the actual underlying image; just click "save as" in the bottom-right corner of the same window, and voila!

Once I had updated Firefox this worked fine. Here are two more photos not previously posted, apparently most photos taken at Birdie Beach.
