Thinking back to much warmer days on the Charles.

Because this isn't warm at all.

Toto!

Beacon Hill sparkling in the late afternoon sunshine.

Charlotte and Sam flexin' in the basin'. (Well, just on the edge of the basin, if you want to get technical about it, under the BU Bridge).

The Charles River Hall of Mirrors, right before it closed for the season.

And now, back to the bleak reality.

Wishing everyone rosy sunsets and flat water in the basin. Maybe about 30-40 degrees warmer, too.

The Schuykill is still liquid for now.

Thanks, Greg and Shannon (not pictured), and Vesper for the hospitality.

Wandering around Longwood gardens in the rain.

Sean looking very blue.

Sunrise wrapping around Riverside on Wednesday

Taken in November, but very applicable to current feels.

Watching the moon set over the basin. Still liquid, for now.

John and CRI coming through Anderson in November

This no longer looks navigable by boat. :(

Nothing says rowing holiday cheer like the one, the only, Mr. Cameron Booth.

The tracking beam will engage in 3...2...1...

BC traffic jam in the power house stretch.

Just watching the cars speed by under Longfellow.

Some parts of the basin were still liquid on Friday.

Maybe we'll get to use these again this year.

Or maybe not.

Some local shark

Winter is here. Sad face.

Hillary and Anna cruising the basin back when it was really warm, i.e. October.

Just watching the water dripping off Weeks.

Roll tide.

I am just here for the view.

Happy Anniversary to us!

Meanwhile... BU was sparkling.

I love this photo on so many levels. The problem with wagons is that once you tip one over, it's really hard to get it upright again.

One for the "don't always look in the direction of the sun at sunset" series. Somewhat assisted by the fact that the actual sunset was very bland.

Hello darkness, my old friend.. And our newest members, Cal (2017) and Jeff (lifetime).

And here comes winter.

Meat wagon + Joe were kind anough to let me and Mike run up the basin with them.




Jake and some BU lightweights also enjoyed the first snowfall of this winter.

BU men taking advantage of the late-late season liquid water.

Those office views aren't so bad.

A CRI double going by a few days ago.

Zooming in on the sunset around the Citgo sign, with the platform arches in the foreground.

BC still out there after the Foot (but prior to Thanksgiving)

Timelapse of Saturday's sunrise.. It came in waves.

He's the king of Darkness for just another 3 days.. Who will be next???

Sunrise haze at Anderson.

HPG heading to the basin on Saturday morning.
