It was a cool and drizzly Sunday morning – perfect conditions to wander around the North End to see what there was to see.

Just like I will walk around to the back of things, I will also always peer down narrow passages like this. It was a rich reward, with the brick walls, the stoop, the door with the worn-away paint at the bottom, the window reflections. But mostly: that umbrella!
