//(1024px) urlLarge = https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3803/11738172576_37d0aeb353_b.jpgNote. For urlLarge we used _b to grab a larger image url for the photo. However, this does not mean all photos are available in that size. Some photos are only available in certain sizes. flickr.photos.getSizes can be used to retrieve available sizes for a photo.
For more information please take a look at the official documentation.
