Image is not getting loaded to an image tag on rails

I have tried to load an image to an image tag by rails as follows. The path is correct . 

 <%= image_tag("581efb2dcd752bacafda09c4deaba141b76693d1.jpg")%>

it renders as below and when I open it from the firebug it said image cannot be loaded . What can possibly go wrong here?

 <img src="/home/kalanamith/Documents/projects/test/private/documents/blackandwhite/581efb2dcd752bacafda09c4deaba141b76693d1.jpg">

The solution is really simple. You can specify where your rails will look for assets and add these directories.

in your environments files you can add

# development.rb for example
config.assets.paths << "/home/kalanamith/Documents/projects/test/private/documents/"

so <%= image_tag("/blackandwhite/581efb2dcd752bacafda09c4deaba141b76693d1.jpg")%> will work fine.
