A wander through part of Boston in late afternoon/ early evening light, aka "the blue hour."

My purpose in being downtown on a weekday evening was to see a theatrical performance. Not at the Paramount but, it's exterior is more photogenic than the Opera House next door where I was.

The Opera House is just stunning inside. Since its opening in 1928, it has served as a vaudeville house, a movie house, an opera house, a ballet house, and host to touring Broadway productions.

I was there to see, "Come From Away," a story about how the Gander, Newfoundland community (population 10,000) rose to the challenge to host more than 7,000 uninvited, unexpected, tired, hungry, scared guests on 9/11/01 when the United States closed its airspace following the terrorist attacks and many flights already enroute had to divert to other destinations. This small community's response was a tribute to the best in humanity.
Seeing this show filled in a wonderful and humanizing narrative in my own life experience from that day/week.
