Unlovely skyline

The last several photos I've posted (from ladybugs on) were all taken on the same day (except the March 31 fens pic) in the same 4 or 5 block stretch of Boston. I took this one for context but couldn't fit it in anywhere. This was our last downpour in a weather pattern that gave us 8 days of straight rain. From left to right on the skyline are Boston's tallest, second tallest, and eighth tallest buildings (3-7 are downtown a couple miles, lost in the grey). Every time my dad has visited me in the past 5 years or so, he's asked me what that third building is. I just finally found out that it has the romantic name of "111 Huntington Avenue," and is part of the Prudential Center complex. I think you can go up to that open dome--maybe I'll take my dad up there next time he visits.
About an hour after this picture was taken, the sun came out for the first full hour in 11 days. I took the dogs for a walk around Leverett Pond to celebrate.
