The Face of Boston by maggiemae

The Face of Boston

There is a lot going on and has gone on with Boston. Tea Party, buns, marathon, the Kennedy family, Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe…etc There are also statues everywhere - the Irish Famine for example! Heard many Irish accents!
We took a harbour tour to see the great city most of which has been built in the last 50 years.
Three good things:
1. No graffiti seen on our 2 hour tour of the city
2. Saw the outside of the huge and old Game Centre where baseball has a major game tonight! The Red Sox v Baltimore?
3. Meeting lots of people who have NZ in their sights for next year’s journey!
Great b/w shot with a mix of architectural styles...nice light

Poe was Baltimore, I think. Great looking city.

@alophoto Our tour operator said Poe was born in Boston but didn't like it! I didn't realise Boston has such a big harbour!

@maggiemae Ah, got it. I still need to visit Boston.

I've never been, but you know, there is so much history there it almost feels like I have. Fascinating city, and great photo.

@pandorasecho Sounds like the beginning of free America, really!

@alophoto The Red Sox lost last night!

Love Boston. The mix of very old and modern buildings side by side is fabulous. We only lived in the area a year, but sometimes I miss our excursions into Boston.

@homeschoolmom There seem to be so many attractions here - science, art, music (Boston Pops), sailing, biking (hundreds of bikes)!

This looks great in monochrome and a wonderful skyline. Boston Tea Party, glad you mentioned that.
