Smith Tower, which at one point was the tallest building west of the Mississippi, is at left. Best viewed large. Captured using a Fujifilm X-T1. Processed in Lightroom and Aurora HDR.

Believe.
Realizing that we haven’t explored enough of our city, my family and I decided to spend our Saturday afternoon in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. It’s an older section of the city, with mixed industrial and residential areas, and lots of architectural character.

Dropbox’s Carousel Jams
Dropbox has pulled the plug on Carousel, ending the photo service that it introduced just last year.
