On the left bar (widgets) you can see "Photo Albums". The images themselves properly link to pages like: https://peakfun.com/photo/photos/52-mount-torment-from-trailhead
However the album links go to: https://peakfun.com/my-photos/23-eldorado-peak-march-2015
It should point to: https://peakfun.com/photo/23-eldorado-peak-march-2015 (yes, this link works and displays the same album)
The reason being that most people who see this will not be the photo owner. Also pointing to the albums menu item not only makes more sense but would reduce the chances of search engines getting duplicate posts. Seeing "my-photos" in the URL only makes sense when you are viewing your own photos from that menu item. Even the links inside of "my-photos" should link to "/albums". This way link sharing would be consistent. The "my-photos" after all is supposed to be only for your viewing.
Another reason this is not good is because this view is only meant for logged in users. As a result guests cannot view my albums unless they happen to know how to change the URL from "/my-photos" to "/photo".
The Photos widget links to photos as expected.
The albums app also has this issue as seen here: https://peakfun.com/joshlewis/albums
Same goes for all the links in the left side bar of that page.
