What a view

Here's the view from my friend's apartment in Back Bay.

Who Brings Bees?

There was a booth at a local street market with live bees flying around.  It was a bit alarming (as seen on the blurry faces of the ladies in the background) to have hundreds of bees within a few feet of oneself, but I'm not allergic so what's the worst that could happen.  I snuck in close enough to get this picture before I headed on my way down the market sting free.

North End Cantina

An italian cantina in the north end - one of hundreds but by far the coolest looking sign.

Historic Sign

I recently discovered the HDR feature on my camera.  It take 3 consecutive shots of differing exposure and layers them together.  This allows objects that are traditionally dark, to be seen (the dark objects are filled in with light from a shot with higher exposure).  You can see the before and after below.  I still have a lot to learn with this feature, but it will be powerful!

West Coast Sunset

This is probably one of the best sunsets I have ever seen.  Look close, there's mountains on the horizon.

Calm Cloudy Night Part 3

Sorry for the monotony.  There were about 20 of these shots that I wanted to share, but these three were the best.

Calm Cloudy Night Part 2

I like the vertical symmetry provided by the water.

Cloudy Calm Night Part 1

It was a cloudy but calm night, and I managed to get some cool shots of Boston.  This is the first of 3 that I will post.

Old Bridge

I took this picture on my bike ride home one night.  This is the Longfellow Bridge railing lit up by my LED bike light.  You may recognize the bridge a from the first picture in this blog post... or not.

A Walk for "Something" Every Weekend

Every weekend in Boston, there is a walk for something.  I'm all for a good cause, but sometimes I wonder how many different walks on city can host.  Here's the one of the two or three walks on the Esplanade in one weekend.
