Boston Highlights
We took a short break and went to Boston.
The public library
The museum of fine arts
With a steady hand, and an iphone, you can capture interesting photos of large pieces of art. I, have an iphone.
Restaurants and a contemporary art museum are in this area.
The Prudential center skybridge is a great place to snap pics. Bring your polarizer …
This is overlooking the Harvard/MIT area.
Below is the Christian Science complex.
This overlooks the Boston commons (the park on the left).
In the distance, you can see the baseball park.
This statue of Washington is in the Boston commons.
The Freedom Trail is made up of bricks and painted on some of the streets. You can follow it and discover various historic landmarks. Guided tours follow the trail. Some in period garb, other groups take running tours.
The aquarium is a pretty popular destination. It was packed. We got there at opening. The building was pretty much full by 11am. It is well maintained, has lots of diverse exhibits and well, i’m a sucker for penguins.
One large aquarium is the centerpiece. It is a cylindrical tank in the middle of the building and is about 3 stories tall.
You can kinda see the sea turtles getting fed here:
Stingray feeding is a better vid:
This jellyfish video turned out ok:
Most of the penguins were paired up when this shot was taken.
Here is a pic of the top of the tank.
The buildings at Harvard are beautiful.
I walked through Paul Revere park after running an errand to the Museum of Science one morning.
The JFK museum had a spectacular display devoted to the Cuban missile crisis. The grounds were beautiful.
