The T wonders if you can figure out where this photo was taken.

Commander Chris Hadfield, way up there on the International Space Station, photographed the Boston area the other night, "glowing under a trace of fog." See it larger.

Via BostInno.

When and where? From the Boston City Archives, natch. See it larger.

First the ceiling comes down at the Forest Hills commuter-rail stop, then, as Lori Magno alerts us, the ceiling comes down at the Downtown Crossing Boston Sports Club.

Arturo Gossage walked around the Common tonight.

Another mystery building from the folks at the Boston City Archives. Can you figure out when and where the photo was taken? See it larger.

We spent a some time on the north side of Jamaica Pond today, watching the geese (and some ducks and one seagull) flocked around the one remaining patch of open water on the pond (what looks like open water near the boathouse in the photos below is actually ice):

Leslie Jones (of course) took this photo of Engine 8 outside a major winter fire at North Station in the 1920s (the caption says approximately 1920; the Globe archives shows a four-alarm fire on Jan. 17, 1925).

Tom Hynes photographed routes 18 and 3 in Weymouth this morning.

Leslie Jones photographed a worker changing a lock at the Brink's warehouse in the North End following the $2.7-million robbery on Jan. 17, 1950. It turned out that part of the gang's two years of preparation involved secretly replacing several locks at the warehouse beforehand to make their entry easier.

The warehouse still stands today, as a parking garage at 600 Commercial St.

People up at the crack of dawn this morning got to see a beautiful sunrise. Gregory Schlisson watched the sun come up over the Saugus River while on a Rockport Line train into town.

Today's sunrise from a skyscraper in downtown Boston.

A roving UHub photographer captured the scene this morning at the Great Dome, where Pacman hopes to gobble up the energy pills while avoiding Blinky.

Ouch.

One of Boston's more unusual public monuments is the unexploded (but presumably defused) mine the Navy had put in the North Sea to blow up U-boats during World War I, now permanently on display next to the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at the top of Boston Common.

The Massachusetts State House is a beautiful building.

Kat G. says she was pretty surprised to see graffiti on an inbound train this evening at Walpole.

Very hard to hit an MBCR train. Guaranteed it will be buffed by tonight.
