I've got a drupal site on one domain and a gallery site on a sub-domain (another computer, another network) but I would like to be able to use photos from the gallery site on my drupal site in some easy way (I could of course look up the urls to the photos but ...).

I would like to have some kind of photo blog functionality where I could select pictures from gallery. Preferable then I would see a thumbnail in the entry on the drupal site and then when I click on the picture a bigger version of the picture would be shown using lightbox/greybox/thickbox. (and it would be nice to have a link from the picture in gallery back to the blog entry)

From what I understand, the drupal/gallery module assumes that they are hosted on the same machine. Is there an easy way to do what I like?

Currently I'm manually creating thumbnails and larger versions of the pictures and then use plain html (and thickbox) in drupal.

Sorry, AFAIK there is not easy way to accomplish what you describe. You might be able to set up some sort of mirror of your g2data folder on the Drupal box and tie that mirrored directory into IMCE. I'm sure there are other possibilities too, but all will require significant effort.
