Just because I'm so nice, here's a look at the view today from Peter's Hill at the Arnold Arboretum (click for the bigger version):

This next set is from Friday, which if you'll remember went from beautiful in the morning to bad by midday and got nice again by day's end

6:22 AM.. rise and shine!

whoa, what the?

ruh roh! (said in a scooby doo voice)

and here comes the rain in Washington Square

by the end of the (work)day things were pleasant enough again

Always nice to see my old neighborhood (Chestnut Hill). And no, I didn't live in one of those houses. Would have been nice though :wink:

 

[ablarc]

That little domed rooftop addition is ever so zany.

 

[ablarc]

This is the style to promote in Coolidge Corner.

...washington square...

Ain't no square there.

by the end of the (work)day things were pleasant enough again

Beautiful! When were those houses gothicized?

Sadly, the best I've got this time around:

 

[ablarc]

^ Not at all sad, but very nice.

Works especially well if you squint.

Wow. It's a schooner.

(Too obscure? )

 

[statler]

Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat. :lol:

 

[Merper]

...

hehehe...

"a schooner IS a sailboat, stupidhead"

 

[statler]

You know what?! There is NO Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit.

(Sorry, I'll stop now)

 

[castevens]

Some gorgeous photos, guys. Nice to see that you kept this thing alive in my absence.

I should have some to add to this fairly soon! Although my camera has been acting out on me, and I believe that the CCD is starting to go south .

 

[JoeGallows]

Even the streak of grime is shiny (at the Aquarium).

Edit: Now that I think about it, when was the plaza in front of the Aquarium re-done? I remember on a field trip in 1996, there was some sort of water feature just below grade of the plaza. Anyone have any pictures of the old plaza?
