Boston
Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 | 0 Comments
Back in January Anna and I took a quick weekend trip to Boston. I knew I would think Boston was cool, but I did not expect how in LOVE with this city I would be after arriving there (and this is with two snow storms (minor, I will confess), and a 20 degree average the entire time we were there). Boston is just that great. All the charm and beauty of Europe, with all that great American convenience. Heaven, right? Or at least close to it...

Anyway, as usual, I will let the pictures speak for themselves:


Quincy Market

My friend Ashley was telling me that for a long time the ceiling in this area of Quincy Market was just a flat surface. After a while, they realized that this beautiful dome was hiding behind there, and so they restored it to it's original grandeur. I could wikipedia for dates and specifics, but I won't.

Faneuil Hall (Yes, it took me a few tries to pronounce it correctly. I like to think I'm a Faneuil-pronouncing pro now.)


I really liked the colors in this subway stop. Perhaps it's slightly dated, but I think it's still fun and definitely photo material. This would be really neat if it was taken with some old film camera. I am hipster enough to own one, but not hipster enough to have brought it with me on this trip, and certainly not hipster enough to know all the technical terms related to that field of photography. So I will continue to refer to it as "old film camera stuff."

Some gates at Harvard (which I failed, despite multiple attempts, to straighten in lightroom. After the third attempt, I (obviously) gave up).

The library at Harvard


Some finds while wandering around Boston while Anna (my traveling companion) was on one of her campus tours for Grad school.





And that's it! I went pretty light on the photos this time. Possibly (Definitely) because it was so cold I was only willing to take my hands out of my coat pockets as seldom as possible. It was still an excellent trip, despite the cold and (in retrospect) very mild snow storms.
