Russell Under The Elms 
This is the road that I used to take from my rooms across the river Cam to the Great Court in Trinity. The trees in the photograph still stand here, bare-leafed and speechless these wintry days. I wonder where this little boy is today. Perhaps he is dead, perhaps still alive. A woman's momentary smile captured in black and white for some to wonder about, for some to smile back, and for some to blog about.
