"Seattle Waterfront and the Olympics" by 1precious1 The lone crane looking off into the sound is what really makes this photo so stunning. Courtesy of the increasingly arresting Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"Seattle Skyline at Night" courtesy of Brian Burt. Holy crap, that's lovely. And our Flickr pool is chock full of loveliness.......

"ADIOS SONICS!" by photo coyote Aw, thanks, Redhook. We really appreciate the sentiment. Now, if you could help the Seahawks or the Huskies start winning, we'd be even more grateful. Don't forget to add your lovely sentiments and photos to the Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"i'd like to fly away" by Edgar Diaz Rocks It may seem a simple at first glance, but there isn't a single thing we don't adore about this photo. A portrait that borders on perfection.......

"Brimming" by Aaron Brethorst We're not ready to give up on summer or finding the perfect juicy blackberry, just yet. Share your final summer explorations and your autumn adventures with us at the Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"Cloud Cover" by Scott Cahill Rude A couple weeks ago we promised a friend a whole month more of summer, because we can control the weather like that...and obviously, we totally failed. Drop your photos of Seattle obscured by clouds and rain for the next nine months in the Seattlest Flickr Pool, which is never gloomy or grey.......

"Volunteer Park" by Nic Launceford It may look like the Redwoods, but it's really Volunteer Park. *blissed out sigh * We love this town. And we love our Seattlest Flickr Pool, join the love-in, why don't you?......

"roar" by mraaronmorris Grrr... More fierce and lovely shots like this are waiting for you in our Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"lake crescent twilight" by Don Natawijaya Wow. That's gorgeous. We do so love our Flickr pool.......

7 & 5 by ♫ Krisken We were originally going to make a bacon joke, but we won't taint this cute image with such delicious musings. As always, this picture of future BLTs in motion is brought to you by the Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

38.365 - Summer Storm by Slightly North While we'll be cursing the same weather in a few months, there's something sexy and energizing about a summer storm in Seattle. Add your erotic Seattle weather photography and anything else to our wonderful Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"Beacon Hill Sunset" by shelbytwhite We recommend checking out the full-size version of this beauty. Courtesy of the always cool Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

Untitled photo by thelongbrake We've been feeling more like this photo internally as of late so this hopeful, bright-hearted photo was exactly the image we needed to see in the fabulous Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"Federal Building Portal" by SlightlyNorth We love everything about this photo: the angle, the fish-eye lens, the electric blueness of the sky, the ombre thing happening with the sky's blues fading into each other, the architectural qualities of the shot, and a Seattle sunburst. Send us your beautifully multi-faceted Seattle photos in the Seattlest Flickr Pool......

"Emerald City Overwatch Brigade" by Taylor Hain Looks like the end of the world as we know it--and they feel fine. Another glorious post-apocalyptic shot from the talented Seattlest Flickr Pool......

"Ruby Beach Sunset - Alternate Angle" by Randy Wick This gorgeous photo makes us want to take the rest of the week off and head for the coast.......

We can't decide if this image is absolutely adorable or somewhat terrifying. Its awesomeness, like most everything in our Seattlest Flickr Pool, is indisputable. "The Panda Sees it All" by Joe Sizzle .......

Grundlepuck, a regular contributor to our Flickr pool, shared this photo of Seattle Ramen. According to the label, it's produced by Pal-Do World, a Korean grocery in Lynnwood. We're curious about the ingredients. What does it take to turn ordinary ramen into Seattle Ramen? Geoduck? Dick's Deluxe? Pike Place Roast? If you've tried it, let us know if it captures the flavor of the city.......

Once upon a time, if you wanted to make money from your Flickr photos, you could turn to a site like Photopreneur for advice. Now, thanks to a new "strategic partnership," there's another way: Capture the attention of Getty Images. The gist, according to PDN Online: Over the next several months, Getty editors will invite select Flickr photographers to contribute some of their work to a new collection that will be available on gettyimages.com. Flickr......

"No Future" by Shawn McClung (Slightlynorth) Sure, he may work for our Distinguished Competition, but Shawn shares a generous number of excellent photos in our Flickr pool nonetheless. Most of them are almost as awesome as this photo, and most of them call attention to similar little-seen flourishes of detail that pop up across the city. Thanks!......

FACT: Formerly the Sultan Theater, Seattle's Lusty Lady is the original Lusty Lady. The one in San Francisco is the one that unionized and, eventually, became a worker-owned co-op. Seattle? Not a co-op. On the plus side, it's not owned by the Colacurcio family, either. FACT: The $20 that buys a 2-minute lap dance at Déjà Vu gets you 20 minutes of glassed-in nudity at the Lusty Lady. One quarter keeps a peep show......

One lucky local photographer turned the rest of us into lucky photo viewers today by getting inside the mostly dismantled Sunset Bowl the other night. We first found the collection of pictures inside the closed Sunset Bowl on MyBallard.com, which says everything sold at last month's auction will be out by Friday and that, as they say, will be that for the Sunset Bowl. After we paged through the 14 pictures in the Sunset Flickr......

"down goes frazier! down goes frazier!" by Craig Farrar (EdgarDiazRocks) We love this contribution to our Flickr pool almost as much for the title as for the shot. "You should get extra points for knocking over the scorecard girl," says the photographer. "Then again, she's the one keeping score." Good point.......

"Seattle Center in Miniature" by rgeorgi This and other weird/wonderful toy versions of our world can be found in our weird/wonderful Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

"Angular Shadows" by Ray Tracing It's entirely possible that these condos will never be more beautiful than they are in this picture. And all that beauty's on display in the Seattlest Flickr pool. Thanks for sharing!......

Attention all you videographers, long photographers, phonographers, experimental photographers, and media-ographers of all stripes... Given Flickr's recent implementation of video, your Seattlest photography komissars sequestered themselves to ponder thoughtfully on the possible implications of YouTube-style videos of last Saturday's kegger, say, or 90 seconds of impertinent poodle tricks on the purity of the photography pool. In the end, the passive voice stepped in and decisions were made. It was decided to make the photo......

But one day, one day...the -est will triumph! And we will store the Webby proudly in our non-existent imaginary headquarters, and it will be magnificent. Sorry, did we say that out loud? The Webby Award winners, the Oscars of the Internet, were announced yesterday and Seattlest was, again, robbed. Winning web-sites included local lolcat phenomenon I Can Has Cheezburger?, which won the peoples/popular vote for both Best Weird and Best Humor web-site. A couple......

"I heart Seattle" by Mike Anderson (Viking054) So do we, Mike. So do we. Thanks for sharing!......
