Technical question to other forum members. Do you see this image? Because I cannot see it in any browser, even if I turn off Adblock.
On the other hand I copied the link from the BBCode and the image appears fine on a separate page

No I don't, less he isn't using a direct link from photo-sharing site.

I don't see the image. I just supposed that shadowdragon forgot to post the image.

There is something strange with the URL:

• In the BBCode, I see: s7.postimg.cc/frwvygdvt/location_fond.png
• That URL in a separate page converts into: postimg.org/image/qeqp3vm13/ (and that is visible)
  
• And when I copy the URL of that image, it converts again to s7.postimg.cc/omxq8z2o9/location_fond.png

When the image is visible, I see that it also contains 4 advertising pictures. Some forums blocked postimg.org for that reason.

Probably Postimage doesn't allow hotlinking ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking ) for the full size images. That's I figured out some puzzles before, because I use Postimage aswell and that happened to me.

Is it possible that it's not showing because it's a png image, when I copy image link of the others they are jpg as opposed to png.
My image shows up when I view it, yet somehow it's not showing for others.

Lake Amadeus is a huge salt lake located the southwest corner of Australia's Northern Territory, about 50 km north of Uluru or Ayers Rock. Another, slightly smaller, Lake Neale is located adjacent to the northwest. Both lakes lie on the Amadeus Basin that was filled with sediments eroded from the nearby mountains more than 500 million years ago. Because of the aridity, the lakes are inundated only during periods of heavy rain. For the most part, Lake

Amadeus remains dry and coated with a thick crust of brilliant white salt. Dozens of small islands of red sand protrude centimeters above the surface of the lake. The plants that have taken root on these sandy islands are very hardy, and able to withstand salt as well as heat and drought.

What is interesting about this one is how the sands of the Earth's deserts are differently colored from each other
Central Asia's are tan
The Sahara and Arabian are orangeish yellow
South Africa's are orange
Australia is rusty
North America's are a light gray tan
South Americas are a pinkish light yellow
The mineral differences likely lead to the different colored salt flats

I have to keep that in mind for future puzzles.
