Beacon Hill Area of Boston

Well. Here I am in Boston. Had a fairly good flight from home in Vancouver, Washington. Got in too late to do much, so the next morning I went for a walk from the hotel to the Beacon Hill area, about a 20 minute walk. I shot a few scenes; I really liked this one, the old narrow street through Boston's historic section.

Another street scene.

Swedenborgian Church? There's one I never heard of before. Churches sometimes have strange names. When I got back to the hotel, I looked up Swedenborgian Church, and found that it is a two-hundred year-old denomination with congregations all over the US, Canada, and in Europe. It was named after its founder, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), who was Swedish. If you want to know more about it, Google "Swedenborgian."

This sculpture, "Thermopylae," in the JFK Plaza, was interesting.

That's the bridge which is a part of the "Big Dig," Boston's new tunnel / bridge / freeway complex from downtown to Logan International Airport. It wasn't quite open yet when I was there.

Ah! Free speech in Boston. I agree with the message, although not the medium. Boston is called "The Cradle of Liberty"; we owe much to the old patriots who demanded their own rights and the rights of us all.

I didn't do Boston justice. I should have scheduled several days there and did some tours and become more knowledgeable. But I didn't, except for a few specific places, which are on their own pages.

Comments.
