random pictures of the moment: impending doom and gloom

M&i went into boston yesterday so i could get a haircut and afterwards headed over from chinatown to quincy market. unfortunately, beard papa is no longer there (replaced by some place that sells mac and cheese, sample was nothing special) and the shoes she was looking for didn't appear to be available, so we had a late lunch/early dinner before heading back to the car. after we started back, it started to rumble a bit (yay thunderstorm) and as we left the quincy market/fanueil hall area, i happened to look up and see these. much to M's frustration, i turned into immediate tourist and pulled my phone out to take pictures, but i couldn't help myself. the 4th shot i took didn't come out as well (camera focused on the nearby sign rather than down the street) so i don't include it, but had i been on my own, i would have taken a whole bunch more. we managed to get 1/3 of the way back before i had to pull the umbrella out, but that didn't stop us from getting somewhat wet anyways. did see a few good flashes nail a tall building a few times. but i had fun all the same.
