flicXkr.com/phoXtos/1two3dining/4823318398/sizes/o/ (remove X's)

Thought this might be useful in the future, although be aware that even thought this lets you VIEW the images in higher quality, some users won't allow you to DOWNLOAD the pictures at all from Flickr.
Couple points: actually, the way to see the biggest size available is just /sizes (not /o), which will show all sizes, and you can then choose largest. Also, while some flickr users (often those that don't allow the "o" size to be seen, only smaller ones) "disable" downloading, they can all be downloaded; there are lots of tips both here and elsewhere how to do that: what's simplest for a technoweenie like me is, while viewing the desired size's page with Firefox, position mouse over picture, right-click then choose "View Page Info," choose "Media" from the top of that page, scroll through the address box until you reach the one ending in .jpg and click that; then choose "Save As" option at middle right of screen...
