Frigid Walk

A late afternoon walk by One Longfellow Square, with its many placards on the windows, is just the remedy for the blues for some. Elenka and I passed on the stroll and took in a movie at the Nicolodeon Cinemas yesterday afternoon. We'd heard a lot of rave reviews about "The Kings Speech", so decided to see it. We weren't disappointed. Amazing movie! We highly recommend it.

    What a fantastic movie - who would have thought that the story of a man working to overcome his stammer could be developed into such a beautifully emotional story? Two thumbs up!!

    The snow is a beautiful backdrop for all the colors... nicely composed and balanced. The turquoise band around the building really pops against the red brick and light trim...

    Looks like a cozy little corner, and you're right about the movie.

    Everyone's been talking about it. Next time you go to the Nickolodeon, say hi to Will for me.

    I like the colorful store front. It adds some cheer to a cold, winter day!

    Every year, same resolution: go to the movies. Every year, same disappointment: the stack of DVDs got taller...

    This is a wonderfully atmospheric and graphic photo.

    That is a very nicely composed photograph, Birdman. And I agree about The King's Speech. Most places it plays, the audience breaks out in spontaneous applause at the end.

    Nice composition and color in this shot. I must be living in a cave b/c I'm unfamiliar with The King's Speech. But, then again, I don't care for going to movies much. I always feel ripped off before I take my seat. That being said, I'll have to learn more about that film.

    There is something about this shot that I find very attractive...I think it's that fine-looking building and the colors, but also the person walking into the scene...cool photo!

    I miss "the Nick". This looks like the former site of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Was it located in the Old Port a couple decades ago? This movie is at the top of my "to see" list.
