14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
The trolley car during a summer downpour

While touring the Boott Mills in Lowell, MA, I happened to capture this shot of the surrounding neighborhood, including the trolley tracks, complete with a trolley car and trolley personal. It was a hot and humid summer day and suddenly the rain came. The rain drops in the picture captured the whole sense of the heaviness of the environment, as well as the almost immediate drop in temperature.
