Aberdeen Historic District in Brighton Neighborhood of Boston Massachusetts

Taking advantage of some great clouds and fair weather after a winter storm. This is my favorite building in my neighborhood, and I really wanted to highlight the facade on this take. The tough part about this shot was mitigating micro snow pellets coming off everything above me in the wind and landing on my filters. I blew them off the best I could with a rocket blower while the image was exposing, and then cleaned with a brush and lens cloth in between exposures.
