Thanks Dan!

Flickr definitely has it's weirdnesses. 

- The "magnifying glass" means "search" in their visual nomenclature, not 
"zoom", so clicking that presents likely search candidates of similar things. 

- The double-arrow gizmo at bottom right means toggle between the size they 
chose as default for your display/window size and a "fully zoomed in" display 
size. I have no idea how they calculate either of those, I tried a few 
different window sizes on my display and found they autozoomed the image in 
that window display as I changed it, but then clicking the control did 
unpredictable re-sizing. 

  If you want to see an image at the definitive size that I uploaded, click the 
download button (next to the zoom button at the lower right) and pick Original 
from the popup list. It will download the image to your system as I uploaded it 
so you can view it in local image display tools that are somewhat less 
pathological in behavior. All other sizes were calculated and created by flickr 
by their upload tools. 

  For some consistency these days, and to take advantage of the beautiful high 
resolution displays and massive bandwidth that most photo users have at their 
disposal now, my original uploads generally are JPEG files at 75% quality that 
fit within a maximum 1600x1600 pixel (theoretical) box, and sizes average a few 
hundred kilobytes to a couple of megabytes. I only rarely post things larger 
than that, and usually note them as 1:1, "full size," or by download size when 
I do.

At some point I'll create a new website/web server for my photos. I'm getting a 
little tired of the flickr.com craziness with them now being owned by 
whachamacall'em. :-)
