Copley Square Library

Here is a view of the interior of the The Boston Public Library in Copley Square.

Rainy Day

Rainy day captured on the Boston Common.

Prudential Building

Another lovely evening in Boston. This view of the "Pru" as affectionately known was taken from Huntington Avenue.

Harvard Square

Saw this cellist & guitarist in Harvard Square in Cambridge which is another city on the other side of the Charles River. Harvard Square is known for a lively street life of musicians & others needing to express their ideas & art.

Battery Wharf

Enjoyed a lovely evening on the waterfront in this cafe at the Battery Wharf.

Cloud Decending

What we have here is a cloud decending onto the the street. This white in the upper hand corner is a cloud! A crystal clear blue sky & suddenly the clouds come in & drop down. Totally neat to be walking through a cloud on a warm city street. The cloud is cool & smells very fresh. The weather was changing & eventually became quite overcast.

Questions & Answers

Found this kiosk in Government Center. Cards & pins are available for free. Questions are posed & then answers are written on the back.

Rose Kennedy Greenway

A warm summer evening is enjoyed by children playing in this fountain. The Rose Kennedy Greenway is the name of the park which was once the site of the elevated highway, I-95, passing through Boston. The highway is now in a tunnel under the ground.

Copley Square

View of Trinity Church & the Hancock Tower in the brief twilight of a summer evening.

Mayor Curley

Some wit has placed a chair behind the standing bronze statute of Boston's infamous Mayor Curley who was an early 20th century "boss" dominating Boston city politics. See post for September 17, 2008 for a history of this character.

Stephanie's

Stephanie's on the corner of Newbury & Exeter Streets is a popular outdoor eatery. After a inordinately cold spring & summer, Bostonians have been enjoying warm summer temperatures so as to enjoy street cafes. The early evening light is just beautiful.

Michael Jackson

Saw this Michael Jackson impersonater in Copley Square.

Post Office Square

Park & fountain located in Post Office Square is a popular place for relaxation among the professional crowd during the work week.

Copley Square

Another warm day in Boston. Children & adults cool off in the fountain located in Copley Square.

Waterfront Marina

An early morning view of the boats docked in the Boston Waterfront Marina. The light is just so beautiful.

Dog Day Afternoon

One of the warmest days this summer, a true dog day afternoon. View of the Old South Meeting House in Downtown Crossing.

Sonsie's

Popular restaurant on Newbury Street called Sonsie. Easel holds a painting being worked on by the artist who moved away just as the shot was being taken.

Ice Cream Favorite

Emack & Bolio's located on Newbury Street has been a favorite haunt for ice cream for decades. I like the 70's charm on this filled with hip & trendy fashion boutiques.

Young Man Reading

Captured this young man browsing books at Urban Outfitters on Newbury Street.

Griffen on Hereford Street

Cool griffen on a luxury building at the corner of Hereford Street and Commonwealth Avenue. Almost felt like I was in Europe.

Art Gallery

Saw this fun art gallery entrance on Newbury Street. Love the animals.

Boston Women's Monument

Located on Commonwealth Avenue under a charming canopy of trees, this monument stands as a memorial to many prominent women such as Abigail Adams, Phyllis Wheatley, and so on. I suppose this is to counterbalance the reality that all the other statutes in Boston are each a monument to one man who is either a warrior or a politician, or both.

Boston Harbor

Beautiful weather in Boston. Perfect for an evening sail in the harbor. View of East Boston over the water here.
