This shining sphere of Quincy granite, 'The Gazing ball', is located in Constitution Common outside City Hall and is a reminder that the famous Quincy stone was once one of the world's most cherished building materials. It was created in 1925, as part of the city's tercentenary celebration. You can see the gold domed steeple of the Church of the Presidents reflected in the background.
Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams are buried there.

superbe, elle me fait penser à une boule de cristal chez une voyante ;o)
haughtiness, her makes me think of a crystal ball at a clairvoyant ;o)
I love to run my hands over smooth surfaces like this.
A perfect choice for today's theme!
Very excited to find your blog as we are visiting Boston next year for the first time. We're making a note of all the sites. Keep up the good work.
Looks like a giant bowling ball to me! Sorry, I've got no respect...

Lovely!
Such an elegant setting! Let me gaze into your eyes...I mean your globe.
Happy Holidays.
