Molly Merrick shot today's photo at a small carnival in Chestnut Hill. We liked the way the water was lit and then spent some time trying figure out those fishes.

.laz took today's picture while walking at the Haymarket. The detail is spectacular and the choice of subject is unusual. The colors are a contrasting mix of oranges and blues, and the perspective adds to the photo.

Run by transplants from Cork, Ireland, this is the closest Boston has to the chip shops that are so easy to find across the pond. The menu is pretty basic - fries and battered things like fish and sausages. You can order a la carte or put together a supper with a main, fries, and a choice of peas, coleslaw, curry, or gravy. The fish (pollack) supper, shown above, is gigantic for only $8.95 - you really need to be starving to be able to put all this food away. The fish is flaky and steaming inside the crisp crust, and the hand cut chips are superbly crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside. They're best enjoyed piping hot, though, as they lose some of their integrity as they cool. The Battery also offers Irish drinks, like Club Orange and Club Lemon, Lilt, Lucozade, and Ribena, if you want a truly authentic meal.
