#photos I took on my dads old digicam of downtown Boston’s fascinating variety of structures from different #historical periods and #architecture styles - love the juxtaposition of such different buildings in close proximity
#photography #boston
several different structures are cast in sunlight and shadow, with the built up ‘steeple’ / clocktower of a lighter colored building in background Mix of different buildings in Boston, including a more ornate hotel-style structure, an old church / meetinghouse with a steeple, and modern skyscraper with reflective glass facade at back another jumble of different architectural styles/forms/periods, including older, ornate brick and stone structures, slightly brutalist geometric skyscrapers, and a small segment of another skyscraper that looks curiously similar to Chicago’s sears tower Historic old church / meetinghouse structure/s seen in Boston, striped in alternating sunlight and shadow cast from skyscrapers looming behind.

Some scenes from my past few days in Boston

#photography #boston
Spherical sculptures at 100 High Street in Boston. One is like a spherical representation of an MBTA red line train, the other Fenway Park's green monster scoreboard. Contrails seen between tall buildings in the evening sky A brightly-lit event space between two buildings. Downtown Boston street scene in the evening. Lots of reflective glass.
