It sounds like you're mostly just confused about how web pages work.

Here is the URL of an image as it appears in your browser history: https://cheezburger.com/10357071872/if-i-fits-i-sits

See if you can figure out what image I was looking at.

That's not the URL of a static image, that's the URL of a web page that happens to have a static image as the only content of worth in it and puts the description of said image in the URL.

Calling it the URL of an image seems to me like quite a bit of confusion about how web pages work.

That all depends. Is "1835 73rd Ave NE" Bill Gates' address, or would it be more natural to call it the address of his house?
