My camera decided it no longer wanted to shoot in Newton. After the last shot in this post was taken, my lens stopped working. It might have had something to do with the fact that it was at least 95 degrees outside and oppressively humid, but I like to think it was telling me something. Whether it meant to or not, it made me pull back from the analysis of my childhood. I will probably never be able to pull far enough away to really see where I came from. These shots were taken at Athletic Park, at the Newton "Blue Sky" monument. It was built for some anniversery of the Newton Rotary Club. It is pretty amazing in person. My nephew was playing a baseball game nearby, I didn't get any shots of the game because my lens broke. And unfortunately that also means no shots of the Mennonite church reunion...
