As I made my way around town on Saturday scouting out locations for the lunar eclipse, I found myself staring up at the familiar facade of Abbot Hall.  I had come up Atlantic Avenue headed toward Abbot Hall to check angles for the projected path of the moon and I realized I had never captured an image of Abbot Hall from this vantage point.

The appearance of Abbot Hall after a slight turn on Atlantic Avenue (and the similar one when turning onto Washington Street from Pleasant) seems to be one of those odd moments where I know that Abbot Hall will appear before my eyes every time I make that turn and yet am surprised by its appearance every single time.

On this occasion, Abbot Hall was perfectly lit by the sun at an angle and a cloud filled sky formed a great backdrop.  I pulled over and found this position just in front of the overhead electrical wires and captured the view of Abbot in the clouds.
