The Gazing Ball

[click image to enlarge]

This highly polished granite ball is tough to take your eyes off of with the glorious back drop at City Hall plaza. Today is an election day in Quincy and Mayor Koch is being challenged by his predecessor, Bill Phelan. Even the best fortune teller would not be able to gaze into this ball and predict the outcome of this election. Come back tomorrow for the results.

It is nice to see this monument saved from it's traffic circle exile.

You captured it nicely with the reflection. Beautiful

Very simple but quite stunning; it is the kind of shot that would work really well in a calendar of Boston.

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
