come here
These late bloomers showed off their colors on Spectacle Island last fall and stood out of the then already quite dull display of greens, browns and grays. I am definitely looking forward to seeing...

city lights
Another view of the Boston skyline. One of the perks of living and working close to the Charles are the ever changing views of Old Beantown. And this is only the Back Bay, one of the nicer...

water colors
Taken today on 3rd Street. In case you are wondering about the sudden flood of updates: Pleuni and I have a foto challenge going. We try to take a foto each day and post it on Facebook. Let’s see how...

mass ave
At 9:30 on Massachusetts Avenue, close to Cambridge Common. I used to bike along this road twice a day during the first 4 weeks of my stay here. At night, Mass. Ave becomes a rather peaceful...

red line
The Kendall/MIT Station. This is my stop when I take the Red Line to work, mostly when it’s really icy, raining or otherwise unsuitable to bike. I mentioned Boston’s public transportation system...

fresh pond
At Fresh Pond, shortly after noon. Fresh Pond is a water reservoir and park in Cambridge. When I arrived the sun had come out and shone brightly across the melting ice. Today was the first day that...

withering beauty
This morning on the Charles. It’s quite hard to keep something in focus that’s floating in water when gusts of wind whip up waves all the time, but with a bit of luck I was able to score this one.

harvard yard
Around 8:30 on Harvard Yard. What you see here is only a tiny part of Harvard University, but the Yard is its oldest “part”. I really like this place, especially at night when the tourists are gone and...

salt’n pepper
Enjoying the late afternoon sunshine on the Longfellow Bridge. The so-called Salt-and-Pepper Bridge got its nickname from the shape of its central towers. It is one of the bridges that connects...

snowdrop
Just taken in front of our building (I had to take 17 shots before I hit the 2.5 seconds with very little wind). I like the English name of this flower: snowdrop, which fits well to its closed state,...

ghosts
Taken at the entrance of the Harvard T Stop. She was the only one taking it slowly while everybody else was whizzing past, leaving only ghostly traces on the chip.

power lines
Today I biked up to Prospect Hill and found a good spot to take one of the photographs I always wanted to take since the first day I came to the US. These sprawling power lines that run from house to...

grill
That’s the south-western side of Simmons Hall, a dorm for MIT undergrads. From this side it sort of looks like a barbecue grill to me, which probably fits quite well to the emotional state of its...

This was taken on Harvard Street at around 7:45 this morning. A couple of weeks ago, Max talked about this public dataset (here’s a map mashup) of fire-hydrant locations in Boston and now I notice them...

vibrant
Kawan and Joey were performing at Sprout about an hour ago. When Kawan’s making music it’s quite hard to catch him in a semi-still position :). It was great!

corners
Detail of the Albany Garage. I like how light and shadow play with the massive concrete forms. Before I took this shot I was up on the top level of the garage shooting pictures of the adjacent...

difficult shot
Tonight I went out with my colleagues to play pool at Flattop Johnny’s (we do that mainly as a farewell thing), and this is Karla going for a trick shot.

Taken this morning at the Charles River. There are often geese at that spot, so I guess that it’s from one of these guys.

daffodils
Yep, they seem to enjoy the sunshine as much as we do. I found them today on my favorite riverbank.
