I didn\u2019t do a lot of exploration on my own of the campus though, but after one lunch, my co-partner in the project brought me for a fast walking tour around one part of the campus. The early Friday afternoon sun was gorgeous, and the pictures turned out pretty well on the E-PL1\u2026. except for the indoor ones \u2013 too many people milling about to do proper set up shots!)<\/p>\n

Above<\/em>: The distinctive Great Dome, and also site for some of MIT students\u2019 greatest pranks. They once (somehow) put a fire truck on top of the Dome in 2006! You can Google for those pictures.:)<\/p>\n
