Google Street View: How to get links

Jerry asked: "How do I make links to Google StreetView images?"

When you go into Google Maps and find the StreetView image you like, click the "Link to this page" text above the top right corner of the map. Google Maps will reload, and the link URL will now be in the address bar of your browser. That's the text at the top of your browser that begins with http://www.google.com/. Highlight the URL -- the link text -- and copy with Ctrl-C. Then paste that link of your winning location in your comment to the StreetView contest.

The image above was suggested by Jerry and shows a cyclist on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California. The Bay Bridge to Oakland crosses the San Francisco Bay in the background. You can see it on Google Maps StreetView here.
