The V-CC on a Bummel, April 27, 2008

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a bummel as "a leisurely stroll or journey." Ours wandered from densely settled urban neighborhoods through suburban landscapes, sprawling cemeteries with rolling hills and Neo-Gothic chapels, a park built around a mountain of trash, to a stunning expanse of woods, marsh, and dirt tracks at the edge of Boston.

The third helmet in the stack has just fallen.
