An amusing side effect of my propensity for picture-taking (especially at interesting places like the Hotel Marlowe) is that you get to see me doing it in this picture. This mirror was right next to the beds.

I was enchanted by this area the first time I stayed here, which was when I interviewed for the job in December. I was very happy to be able to come back with a camera to photograph the cityscape that impressed me.

Cambridge is also beautiful, though in a much different way. It's very pretty and classy and clean. Not suburban, but a healthy dotting of green, and nice looking condos.

Better view of the wheel. Charlotte is a banking town, so I guess the gold is appropriate. But I can't see black and gold these days without thinking hellraiser.
