Tree of Science, January 27

On these crisp, clear winter days, it's not necessary to work the contrast too hard on the pictures you take.  Here, at what appears to be 4:05pm, the long shadows of the trees of the Science Quad cross the street, dappling the front of the First Congregational Church.

Visitors are often found photographing what they believe to be a typical, white clapboard New England Congregational Church.  In actuality, the building is a yellow brick Neo-Romanesque building built in 1869.  In 1914 it was remodeled after the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, in Connecticut.
