A place to host a picture that allows direct linking to it?

I have a pic I would like to post but pretty much every free place I can find that gives you webspace like Geocities or other free webpage sites do not allow you to directly link to any picture you have on your site. What most will do is make it so that when you try to do this, a logo of the company such as Geocities will appear in place of the picture you are linking to. They don't allow this for obvious reasons, the main one being stolen bandwidth. However does anyone know of any free websites that will allow me to post a picture and then directly link to it? Thanks!

geocities allows that... save picture as a txt and link the pic... very strange but it used 2 work...
if it dosn't work try lycos.co.uk or summin....

@ sothis... yeh...that's right...i've never tried it u c...

if you rename the file to .txt (NOT save as, just rename) it will let you link it. its a sneaky graphics trick you can use for places that wont let you link image files

Ahh so renaming it to a txt... clever... does it work for web1000.com accounts though?
