Seattle better known as the Emerald City has proven that propietary technology can coexist with open source, here is an ordinary sample where a bridge to 520 peacefully coexists with the arboretum. I know coexistence is not the same as interoperability but you get the idea.
This shot is probably the one I like from this morning visit to the Arboretum with photogeek Ankur. We never been there before to shoot, didn't have much time and the sun never rised so I guess i'm looking forward to continued visits to achieve our goal of capturing the fall colors.
BTW - tried to come up with a natural looking HDR - what do you think?
