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.

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.

This is the view that awaits you if you take the time to hike up to Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. (You could take the bus, too.)

Recently re-processed this photo, taken about two years ago in New York, to test a relatively new HDR feature within Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software. It certainly works in a pinch … but there are far better HDR software options out there.
At least the building looks nice. We can’t go wrong there 🙂
