Nathan Tufts Park The leaves weren't being swept around much by any breeze in Nathan Tufts Park, Somerville this afternoon. This serene scene is perhaps the calm before the literal storm as Sandy heads quickly towards the north east. Sunday promises to get a lot more windy unfortunately. I like that the mid afternoon sun was overhead casting a harsh shadow with the trees. Taken with the  Canon PowerShot SX230HS  in landscape mode to try to give some selective focusing and depth to the frame, flash did not fire. No post processing .

McGrath Highway Bridge During the commute to work this morning the sun was shining but it certainly felt like fall was here. As I cranked on the cars heat while waiting for light to change in Somerville this morning I captured the sun light shining on this McGrath Highway Bridge.

Museum of Modern Renaissance If you are in the Davis Sq area of Somerville you will find one building that catches your eye. The Museum of Modern Renaissance it turns out is just as interesting on the inside as the out. Taken with the LG Optimus Elite , cropped for square in post processing.

Davis Square Statue I pass these statues several times a week and I've always been curious as to there meaning. According to wikipedia they are statues of local residents at the time of their construction in the 80s. I thought the 'masks' that each one wears was meant to be some subtle statement about society but no they were added in the 90s to repair damage made by vandals.
