From Above


It was a beautiful day, so I went up to the 50th floor Sky Walk of the Prudential Building (the tallest on the left) to get a really neat view.
We are looking at it from the Christian Science Reflecting Pond.



Behind the reflecting pond (which was very um, reflective...literally and metaphorically), I also poked my head into the Christian Science Church, but rejected the flyers and pamphlets and left after getting a look at the big pipe organ. It was nice, but no worries. Still Jewish.


The tall building reflecting the city is the John Hancock Building, the tallest in New England.


The bridge is the Longfellow (or also called "salt and pepper" based on the shape of the four central posts) Bridge. If you look closely, towards the upper right, before the horizon, there is another bridge. That is a major part the infamous "big dig." Only $14.6 billion. Looks pretty small from here for that amount of $.


Fenway Paahhk. Go Red Sox.



Back Bay. Used to be swamp land.

Fun being a tourist. :)

Heya Liz!

Golly you look fantastic! And, oh, hey! Awesome Photoshop job on these Boston pix -- I'm assuming that's how you replaced the smoggy skies with those fake-looking clouds. And where's the freeways? They still using donkeys to get around out there? What a weird place you live.
