Person after person walked across the bridge over the lagoon in the Public Garden placing their feet carefully in the cleared track of melted snow.
At the top of the first of my three flights of stairs that are part of my morning walk, I saw this pattern on the deck of the bridge.
Then I stood for a few moments and watched people as they walked across.
Deep inside I suspected there was more to this pattern than path followers. On my next loop around, I took this photo under the bridge. My guess is the path formed because of the structural elements of the bridge and then people followed the path because they didn't want to walk in the snow.
About Today in Boston: We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. Today in Boston is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.
