It used to be that, for years and years:

Readable URL with a picture file at the end. Harmless.
Then it was bad, thanks Google for being so great at respecting the Web and making it even better:
You see, it still respected the syntax and some WWW readability: URL and picture file at the end.
Now it’s 2016 Picasa is dead and Google has Google Photos, which displays pictures like that:
