Answers.Text: Thank you for your answer. I have tried this already, and it behaves the same. When I search the object returned by `dump(image)` there is no `url` key to be found. I can successfully return `{{ image.filename }}`, but no url!

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-08-31)
  
  I'm a newcomer to Craft from the far-off lands of WordPress. I hope my stay is long and fruitful, but at the moment that prospect is in danger. The problem I'm having must be embarrassingly simple, but I can't find my way through it.
  
  The simple task I am attempting to accomplish it to display an image I uploaded to an entry via a new asset field.
  
  If there is a method or practice for displaying an image via asset fields found on the internet, I have tried it. Currently, this is how I am trying to render the image in my twig file:
  
  ```
  {% for image in entry.featuredImage %}
      <img src="{{ image.url }}" alt="blah">
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  No image shows up.
  
  When I `dump(image)`, should it be returning an array with 666 lines? I understand an asset returns a kind of Asset File Model (although I don't entirely understand *what* that means), but I find it hard to believe it's supposed to be that large.
  
  Hoping to find at least the url of the asset, I perform `dump(image.url)`, but it only returns `bool(false)`. Why would it be doing that?
  
  I created my `uploads` directory, and setup my asset source. I've tried doing this on an entirely fresh, up-to-date and clean install, but it still behaves the same way.
  
  What am I missing or doing wrong?
  
  Thank you!
