If your guess to our close-up clue was the Zamboni clearing the ice on the Boston Common Frog Pond, you were right!
Today would have be Frank Zamboni's 112th Birthday and Google is celebrating with a Google Doodle that will let you drive their Zamboni.
Here's a bit more about the history of the Zamboni (which this one happens to be) and ice surfacers (the term used when this equipment is made by other manufacturers).
We bet the Frog Pond skaters are happy they don't have to wait for a crew of people to go out and scrape, wash, and squeegee the ice by hand. Click over to Google and test your Zamboni skills.
(Here's a link to past Google Doodle's if you find this post after today.)
