this reminds me of one of those things that you catch out of the corner of your eye. in any case, the foliage nearby frames it nicely.
the sunset from a child's view? i can't make anything else of it. the fence made a nice foreground =)
the colors here look so soft this looks like it popped out of a dream. the buildings for some reason make it look somewhat exotic.
someone sailing at sunset. i think these people actually noticed me taking a picture of them too, and kept staring at me while they passed by. but this took place before they did that, which makes for a pretty nice shot.
hmm.. the horizon. nice buildings.
more dusky colors. cute little boat in there.
this is the john hancock building with a naked maple for foreground. it really reminded me of a flower show i saw at the expo when i was... iono... 8? 9? anyway i thought it looked cool the way the color of the sky sort of descends down on it.
this looked surprisingly gloomy. the setting was actually nice and breezy, yes it was somewhat cloudy, but it was a nice spot to sit for a read. having it come out this dark was a bit of an extra bonus, i think it sort of adds mood to it.
don't know if this is even worth posting, but i have it anyway and i'm BORED T__T the colors in this look so dead. it just looks... so dead. gah i hate this pic. maybe i'll post a B&W one later.
a glimpse through the leaves =)
i love this one, just for the sole fact that you can see a couple standing there at the dock admiring the sunset, and then a pair of ducks swimming toward them. it's so cute.
okay, the couple's still there, the mood isn't as perfect though. but the leaves do shadow nicely, it makes for a somewhat even balance.
ummm.. a huge cigarette?
a squirrel =) this was the following day outside my house btw, not at the charles.
overall, that was my 2nd visit to the charles with jenny, and boy was i beat. we biked to the end of cambridge and the freakin bike seat was too high for me, i had to bend over irregularly to reach the handles. what's worse is that the brakes don't work that well, so around pedestrians i'd have to take extra care to go at a decent speed so i can stop in time, just in case. and then you have those assholes who see you coming on a narrow sidewalk and they just don't give a damn and would rather get hit than move. plus i did end up falling and scraping myself a little. i happened to almost fall on a little girl in a carriage, but the little girl is safe. that would have been traumatic. i have two bruises the size of fists though. and i had to guard my bike most of the time so taking pics was pretty limited, or i can only take pics of certain surroundings close to the bike. luckily, i got about 10 min of my own exploring time when i asked jen to watch the bike for a bit, but... that's about it. everything came out with the same set of colors since i took them all at the same time, but mostly, that bike pisses me off. well hey, at least i have some mediocre pics?
