Wal-Mart really is a big box store

Found this giant wooden box near the personal care section of the Wal-Mart in Framingham.

Lightning flashed while I was snapping this photo

Interesting (and accidental) timing on my part. Wasn't trying to get lightning on film.


Live at the top of a hill. Went outside to take some pictures of the stormy night skies. Was playing with manual settings and ISO speed on the camera (Canon IXUS 40).

Took some other shots of the rain.

Dedham theater turns to dust

...in front of my eyes (and camera)

Movie in Dedham?

Seen in Dedham last week. Directions to a movie set? Looks like the Mall Cop signs all over West Roxbury.

Avon walkers make their way through JP

Captured some of the Avon walkers on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain yesterday. Love the gal with the pink hair.

The saddest car on the VFW

This is Sad Car.

I've watched this poor thing deteriorate over the past 5 years or so.


Back when I lived in RI, I'd drive past this rusty white car on my way up to Brookline to visit friends. When I moved to Boston 2 years ago, I was sort of surprised that it was still sitting there, rotting in the same driveway along VFW Parkway in West Roxbury Roslindale.



Every once in a while Carpool Buddy and I wonder aloud whether the neighbors complain about this eyesore and ponder how much it brings down their property values. I mean, would you want to live next door to Sad Car?

UPDATE:
I stand corrected. Sad Car lives in Roslindale.

What's wrong with this picture?

Intersection of Forest Hills and Williams Streets.

"Set" refers to the movie that is being filmed at Doyle's, which I now think of as the second most famous bar in Boston.

Would you eat this?

Herrell's hidden room

Herrell's Ice Cream shop in Harvard Square is located in what used ot be a bank. They turned the old vault into a dining room of sorts.

Adventures south of the border

Rush hour charity collectors of Boston

Who are these mysterious people in the neon shirts causing traffic slowdowns at rush hour? I can't tell if they are collecting for a legit cause or just really sophisticated panhandlers.
