I have an Image, which contains carrierwave uploads:
Image.find(:first).image.url #=> \"/uploads/image/4d90/display_foo.jpg\"
In my vie
try path method
path
Image.find(:first).image.path
UPD
request.host + Image.find(:first).image.url
and you can wrap it as a helper to DRY it forever
request.protocol + request.host_with_port + Image.find(:first).image.url
