View of Harvard Square from the COOP

View of Harvard Square from the COOP

It rained hard last night and early this morning, but it cleared up and was warm(in the fifties!) so Mel and I decided to make a Cambridge run: coffee at Peets, then the COOP, and Harvard Bookstore. I was sitting in the third floor of the COOP reading a book when I looked out the window and decided that I liked the view of Harvard Square well enough to take some pictures with my phonecam. When I got home, I cropped this one and adjusted the contrast. But there were some distracting shapes on the street, so I quickly opened the image in PainterIX and did a little street sweeping with digital pastel.
