The view from Longfellow Bridge

   If there is a better view from a subway train than the view from Longfellow Bridge, as the Red Line briefly runs above ground between Charles Street and Kendall Square, then I would like to see it.  For three years, when we lived in Porter Square and the firm was at One Beacon Street, I rode the Red Line between Cambridge and Boston every day.  Now it's just a few times a year.  Like the other day, when I rode to Harvard Square to have lunch with my friend Libby.  I used my Blackberry to snap this photo, hoping for something to work with.  And sure enough:  the low resolution of the camera, the hazy window of the train, the bright sunlight, and a little noodling with iPhoto, all  combined to make this picture which looks, to me, like a passable painting.  People who actually can paint must hate this sort of thing.  But I like it.
