This is the view of downtown Boston from the third-floor porch of our new house in Malden, taken a day before our closing. About a hundred pixels to the right of the tallest smokestack, you can see the John Hancock building, and about 90 pixels to the right of that is the Prudential Center. The Pru is close enough to where I work (at Northeastern) that I go to its food court for lunch sometimes. The top of our barn is visible in the left foreground. Copyright (c) 1999 by Jay Sekora ().
