July 14


It was a beautiful, partly-cloudy day in Boston today. High temperature of 80, light breezes, and just really delightful.

It's a pity I had to work.

I took my camera with me both times I had to go do the meter dance (moving my car space to space), and caught the clouds reflecting on the mirrored glass facade of 111 Huntington Avenue. I originally planned to zoom way in and get the faceted effect up close, but I only had a mid-range zoom. Cropping was a possibility, but after polling friends online, I decided I liked this composition well enough to go with it as-is.

Many city dwellers -- unlike tourists -- go about their lives in cities with their heads down, charging through the crowds to get where they need to be. It's really a shame, because you can see beautiful things if you just look up occasionally.
