Merci!

We are grateful for our good neighbors from Hydro Quebec, Canada, who helped restore electricity to many in Quincy.  They arrived 5 days ago and will stay until the work is done. This was a storm of mega proportions and especially destructive along Quincy's 26 miles of coastline.  The wind took out many older trees and power lines as was the case here.

Nice view of the Boston skyline from atop the bucket!

This was taken from Squantum looking towards Boston before the "deep freeze."

Boston Through The Birches

 This stand of birch trees in Squantum offers a quiet view of the Boston skyline.

Lingering Sights

This image was captured about two weeks ago at Wollaston Beach looking towards Marina Bay and Boston.  I am still amazed by the incredible amount of snow that's piled up.

Boston Beyond The Flats

It's always interesting to see how the Squantum flats or shell beds shift with the tide and winds.   Happy Monochrome Monday!

Pastel Veil

QDP will pause on this Boston skyline scene taken from Wolly Beach. Take time to enjoy your surroundings and open your eyes to the beauty around you.

Sail into Fall

Boston skyline from Squantum Point on the last weekend of summer.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Coastal View

It's a beautiful fall day at Squantum Point Park, looking out to the Boston skyline.  I would like to hop on one of those sailboats and head off to one of the islands today with a picnic lunch.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

Tides Out

Today is definitely a "beach day" if you don't have school or work.  At Squantum Point you can barely make out the Boston skyline in the haze. 

Travel Tuesday: Boston Harbor

Water transport is an enjoyable and efficient way to get to and from Boston's Logan Airport.  It only takes 7 minutes once on board.  You can see Logan tower along the horizon.  Water taxis are also available from Quincy and Hull.

Front Row Seat

I like the way the HDR setting on my camera plays up the drama in the sky.  These lifeguards have only the sky to watch on these unsettled days at Wollaston Beach . . . Happy Skywatch Friday!

Travel Tuesday: Boston, Massachusetts

This is a springtime in Boston that I'll never forget.  This picture in the Boston Public Gardens was captured on my way to the marathon last week. 

Travel Tuesday: Boston

I didn't travel very far for today's picture of Boston's InterContinental Hotel on Atlantic Avenue.  This is a fun building to photograph with so many lines and angles; I like how it looks in monochrome.

Layers

The sun is lighting up the Boston skyline beyond the tower in Squantum.  I like the layering and subtle coloring of clouds in this image.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

North To Boston

This view of the Boston skyline is from the tip of Squantum Point Park.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

From Wollaston Beach, you can really enjoy the layers of clouds moving across the Boston skyline.  Happy Skywatch Friday!
