The Daily Pitcher: Heart of Glass


In architecture--at least in the Longwood Medical Area--glass is the new brick. (Or concrete. Ot stucco.) In this case, what you're seeing is a reflection of light off 350 Longwood and onto the building I work in at 320 Longwood. The play of light on the various structures in the area--especially the brand new Center for Life Sciences and Harvard's New Research Building--can be pretty stunning. I didn't have my camera on me for one such amazing display I saw yesterday around 9, so one of these mornings I'll make sure to have my camera at the ready.

Other interesting patterns can form on my building from precipitation, as happened Wednesday during our snow-, sleet- and freezing rainfest.
