Portrait of a portrait in lovely afternoon light, Boston Public Library, McKim Building Grand Staircase, Friday, August 3, 2018. It was the light that brought the camera to my eye. Only later did I notice the family of five on the left so skillfully arranged on the stairs for their portrait.

Where the Charles River meets Boston Harbor. North Point Park view of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge. The rather elegant building on the lower right is the Suffolk County Jail. Nestled to its left are the colored lights of TD Garden (the former Boston Garden). Suisse architect and civil engineer Christian Menn envisioned the bridge to be the gateway to Boston, and I think he succeeded masterfully. I was here awaiting the rise of the waning crescent Moon.
Cambridge view of the Charles River Esplanade and the buildings of Copley Square, Boston, Wednesday, May 8, 2019. The blue weather beacon is atop the Berkeley Building (also known as the Old John Hancock Building) located at 200 Berkeley Street. The gold dome clock tower sits atop the New England Mutual Life Insurance Building, 501 Boylston Street, Designed by Cram and Ferguson, 1939-42. The tower clocks need a visit from their keeper: The northerly face says 10:40; the westerly face says 10:50; the photo was taken at 10:43 PM. The clock tower is reflected in the glass of the John Hancock Tower on the right. The pyramidal, tile roof of Trinity Church is seen between the Hancock Building and the Hancock Tower.
