Just saw this pop up on the phone …
Enhancements include the addition of the ever-ubiquitous hashtags and unspecified “bug fixes.”
Will have to try it out later and report back on what “bug fixes” we’re taken care of this time.

EDIT: A long-running complaint of mine hasn’t been addressed with this update: The Flickr app used to use the ‘keywords’ IPTC field and turn it into Flickr tags. It hasn’t done so since the prettier Version 2 of the Flickr app was introduced in December. Very annoying.

I love “ghost” painted signage on old buildings. This one is near the South Street Seaport in Manhattan, seen as it was about two years ago.

If you find yourself wandering some of the neighbourhoods in the central parts of Montreal, you’ll find many homes with winding outdoor stairs. This is one of the more colourful examples I’ve come across.
