Autumn in Boston

Dmitrii1 Comment

I hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving week! I took off entire week off from work and right now just chilling at the house. This morning I continued processing this Autumn photos, concentrating on the ones that have some trees with some colors. I was in Boston a few weeks ago and stayed in Residence Inn, right across from the downtown. It took me a heck of an effort to figure out how to drive to this place, if you miss your turn and it is not clearly obvious for visitors which turn is yours, you’ll either end up driving on the highway or somewhere in downtown. Which means you have to turn around and start all over.

At the same time the upside of staying at this place is quite nice. I discovered that you can walk from this hotel along the banks of the river and go under the bridges. It is all nicely done and I think I have a few photos worthy to show.

Boston Waterboat

I took this photo about 18 month ago on one of my first visits to Boston. It was cold and snowy, with a lot of cool boats parked for winter and some sailors coming off the water. This fence looked cool and I wanted to remember it many days and month later. Thanks to it, I still do.

We are going for a little spring break to San Francisco. Two days around Napa Valley, couple days in the city and then couple days near Big Sur. Anyone have any recommendations for some cool photography around those places? I’m sure we’ll be overwhelmed with what that area has to offer, but if there are some interesting places off beaten pass, we might try to make there too.

Many people will probably recognize downtown Boston. Cloudy sunset in a cool city. Enjoy.

Boston Court House

A few days back I shared with you “Ghosts are Sailing to Boston” photo, showing Boston downtown. While looking at downtown from the same spot and turning to your left you’ll see this building. US Federal Court House, I believe specializing in Naval affairs. If I remember it right it was designed to resemble some type of naval instrument.

Just a reminder that if you want to see this photo in higher resolution then all you have to do is to click on it. It will open in my Photo Gallery. Also, if you want to see more photos from Boston or some other interesting place then explorer Categories on the right side. Every post is categorized by the place it was taken at and you can easily navigate around it. Up to date I have almost 300 photos on this site – a lot to look at.

Harvard Square

This is where very smart people get their education, or smart people with a lot of very good connections, or maybe somewhat average on IQ scale but with lots and lots of $ and good connections, or maybe all above. I heard that about 30-50% of the current student body is related or somehow affiliated with Harvard alumni’s. 

It was interesting to see all these chairs spread around the lawn. They encourage people to sit and talk to each other. I wonder if this is normal mode of operation at Harvard Square or they only put it out during weekends or some specific occasions. We were there on a Saturday and it was packed with tourists, Chinese mostly, I must mention. As I as walking around the campus I kind of realized that it didn’t click with me, it didn’t feel cozy or impressive, or like a place where I’d want to spend four years of my life (if hypothetically my life was different and I had a chance to come and study here) – maybe it is because of all those tourists! It didn’t feel like university campus, more like some kind of tourist attraction.
