He wanted to know if it is "Photo-shopped", it's not but I can't remember what train we were on, and where we were. Partly the time stamp on the photo is HST.

So if anyone remembers "Where and When" please let me know.

By my lunch time I expect to add 15 more to my Gallary

Eric aka GG-1, Aloha, Mahalo = Thanks

I'm only guessing, but could it be the John Hancock Building in Boston just before you enter the Back Bay station Tunnel from the south? :huh: (It seems like an MBTA car.)

Not to guess too many details! :lol:

A training I will go ... !

Eric, that appears to be taken from the Redline(subway) as you were crossing the bridge over the Charles River with the sun setting in the west(right of photo).Boston is toward the left and Cambridge is to the right.I wasn't on that segment with you.

Eric,

I believe that picture was taken from the Red line on Sunday as we crossed the Longfellow Bridge over the Charles River. Remember that I managed to time this just right, such that the sun was setting as we came above ground. :lol:
Alan,

Take care and take trains!

Hope you guys can help me figure where I was when I took this Picture.

The Camera time Stamp was 10/29/09 9:39:29 HST, so depending on where this might be the Local time was 10/29/09 2:39:29 CST or 10/29/09 3:39:29 EST Which still has us on the LSL.

Sometime the Time Zones an be so confusing.
