Joomla alters the path of the images included in an article

I'm new to joomla and doing some changes to an existing website designed using Joomla. Given below is a line that I've inserted to an existing article

<img SRC="images/myimages/demo/IM-0002-0025.jpg" class="highlighted" data-value="image_value"/>

but it does not display the image when I view it on website. When I view the source of the image in the webpage it shows below

<img src="http://xxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/images/myimages/demo/IM-0002-0025.jpg" class="highlighted mTSThumb" data-value="image_value">

My JPATH_BASE is http://localhost/mywebsitename/ but still it appends "http://xxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/" to the image path

I've even enabled the URL rewrite as mentioned in the joomla prepends to 'path' But still it didn't change anything. Please help

I'm not sure whether this is a hack or not. but I've managed to fix the issue by specifying the image path followed by a ./ So now the image path looks like this and it works fine.

<img SRC="./images/myimages/demo/IM-0002-0025.jpg" class="highlighted" data-value="image_value"/>

It's been a while since I've used joomla but I'm sure you have to begin the line with a forward slash to before images.

<img src="/images/"

This makes it relational to the site.
