Three deckahs. Cambridge Street. Behind the Public Library.

The Cambridge Public Library is a wonderful piece of architecture. The building is so sleek, so inviting, so delicious, it makes you want to go in there and read books. Excellent architecture makes human beings happy, and proud of being human. As opposed to, say, shopping malls, which always make me a little ashamed of our species.
And then these two old stalwarts across the road...nicely balanced, well-cared-for, and probably have been there a hundred years.
