Flaming Manholes in Harvard Square, originally uploaded by neutralSurface.

on a bleary eyed trip during an all-nighter to 7-11 for orange juice and breakfast burritos I encountered the most exciting thing to happen in Cambridge for years: A flaming manhole on Mass and Dunster. The light rain, thick smoke and early-morning light made it pretty spectacular. The whole thing looked like a tire fire with the occasional burst of Black Cats. But perhaps the best part were the dozens of firemen and emergency personnel standing and sitting around nonplussed as they waited for the fire to go out on its own. Fire on the street + no one hurt = awesome. //extra bonus for having both cameras on me.
