Damn! I knew I should have taken that picture when I had a chance... But I couldn't bring myself to look like a tourist on the T by digging out the cell phone camera..!
I was on the train, on my way into work. The "red line" comes above ground long enough to cross the Charles River from Cambridge into Boston. (The view is a favorite with tourists... hence my reluctance to break out the camera...) Anyway... it was about 7:15, and the sun may have been up, but through the blizzard that was Boston's morning, you couldn't see it. You couldn't see Boston for that matter... or Cambridge... or even the river! Everything beyond the bridge was completey obscured by the snow. What you could see was blue. That's it... just blue.
Kinda like the background color here... but mistier.
A little creepy actually... but very, very cool. Usually nobody even looks up from their "Metro" when the train comes above ground. But this morning, a whole car load of jaded commuters sat staring out the windows with their mouths half open. And that, in itself, is something to write about!
