Last Post - Joey's Trivia Nite

Joey's Sports Bar in Brighton Center. The plate glass is reflecting Market & Washington Streets. This will be the last post.

State Street T Stop

Here is the State Street T Station where the Blue & the Orange Lines meet. Usually there are so many people entering & exiting. I was lucky enough to snap the picture fast enough before anyone came by.

Court Street

Here is a view of Court Street and the Old State House (right near the site of the Boston Massacre) at dusk. It is almost 5 o'clock on a crisp fall evening. The moon was visible but did not appear in the photograph.

New England Spire

This is the Unitarian Church spire in Brighton Center. Such a typical New England skyline.

The Red Hat

The Red Hat is located at the intersection of Bowdoin and Cambridge Streets has been a Boston institution for over one hundred years. http://www.redhatboston.com/ The upstairs dining rooms has been restored to the original 1906 condition.

Symphony Hall

The present Symphony Hall opened in 1900. Considered one of the best concert halls in the world. I took this shot during the intermission.

Babooshka Dolls

Saw these cute babooshka dolls in the window of a Russian shop in Brighton Center. I think the Elvis one in the back is wild.

Obama

Late today with a post. Wanted to get something related to the election results. Mr. President just about says it all. Boston was elated today. I heard people chanting "Obama, Obama, Obama" in the streets. I saw this BOSTON METRO on Franklin Street, on a slab of polished granite, in front of the Bank of America building. Notice the reflection of the American flag on the left? Only noticed that after I took the photo.

Skyscraper

Another skyscraper. I like the preserved facade of the older building wedged against the glass tower.

Haymarket

Here is a shot of the vegetable market which occurs every Friday though Saturday downtown in an area called the Haymarket.

Reflections

Walking through the Faneuil Hall & Quincy Market area I saw these reflections in the glass of a skyscraper on State Street. A part of Faneuil Hall is seen on the right.

Theme Day: Books

Ran into Border's Books today and sanpped a few shots of books on the subject of Boston for this theme day concerning "books."

Halloween Pumpkin

I found this wonderful pumpkin growing on the wall of a house in Marblehead which lies 17 miles north of Boston. Happy Halloween!

South Station

Here is a view of the interior of South Station where the Amtrack trains come into Boston. Also there are many commuter rail lines.

Creepy Crawly Candy

Gearing up for Halloween, I saw this window display for fancy candies. High Street is reflected in the plate glass window.

Red Line

Here's a shot traveling on the Red Line. It's after rush hour so there are very few people.

No Gas

Saw this sign at the pumps on Southampton Steet in the New Market area. I will be away from October 17 to 28, and, therefore, will not be able to post.

Skyscraper

A view of a skyscraper under construction on High Street. I like the light reflected on the mirrored panes of glass.

Bean and Leaf Cafe

I found this colorful mural in the window of the Bean & Leaf Cafe, 20 Custom Street. http://www.beanandleaf.com/ There are some reflections in the plate glass. I have never eaten there myself. Seems to cater to the office lunch crowd.

Gourds

Here is a closeup of gourds I saw at the Famer's Market in Government Center. I thought this a nice image for fall.

Skating Prohibited

Walking through Government Center almost every day as I do, I see these J.F.K. Office Building towers in many different lights. I suppose many think this an ugly building. But watching the sunlight reflected on this building has changed my opinion. I like the juxtaposition of this sign in relation to the two towers. No skating is necessary here. Government Center is 7 acres of paved land. A skateboarder's dream.

Anti-War Graffiti

Walking in the Newmarket area on Southampton Street I saw this enormous graffiti on a billboard just above the Amtrack rails into South Station. This message is painted onto this billboard.

Fall Colors

Walking along Lake Street in Brighton, I saw this maple tree in glorious color on the Boston College campus.

Morning Meeting

Quite often I pass this conference room on State Street and notice an early morning meeting. The room is behind a plate glass window. I took this shot very quickly so as not to draw their attention. One can see the street reflected in the glass.

Mounted Police

This afternoon I was walking through Downtown Crossing, on Washington Street, and I saw these mounted police. I see them quite often there in the afternoons. I suppose they are there for crowd control. Afternoons can be quite crowded in this area. Many young people gather in Downtown Crossing after school. These horses may be big but they move very fast and seem oblivious to all the people. They are an attraction. These guys are being photographed all the time.
