Let There Be Light

The first of the month is "theme day" in the City Daily Photo blogging community.  "Street lamps" is this months theme and these old-style lamps (with energy efficient bulbs) can be found in Quincy Center as well as in many other areas of the city.   Enjoy!

July Theme Day: Facade

I chose this handsome 1929 Art Deco facade of the Granite Trust Building located in Quincy Center for my July "theme day" post.  This edifice has always served as a bank and a symbol of prosperous times for this city.  Once again it is the beacon of economic hope because the first phase of an ambitious redevelopment project is getting underway right behind it.

June Theme Day: The Beauty of Decay

It's the first of the month in the City Daily Photo community.  These antediluvian volumes show their age so beautifully.  I'm sure there's more beauty to be found in the words contained within.  Please visit other interpretations of today's theme by clicking HERE.

Theme Day: Water's Edge

The first of the month is "Theme Day" in the City Daily Photoblog Community that I belong to.  The saltmarsh near Moswetuset Hummock provided the photo opportunity.  These boat owners are waiting for the waters' edge to come back and float their boat which was moored out in Quincy Bay before the Superstorm Sandy relocated it.  You may view more interpretations of today's theme HERE.

("This Old House" will resume next Thursday.)

Theme Day: Electricity

It's the first of the month once again in the City Daily Photo blogging community. My "theme day" image is a wind turbine from Quincy's water treatment plant on Deer Island in Boston Harbor. The wind turbines produce enough electricity to defray about $250,000 per year in energy costs. Enjoy checking out other interpretations:

Photo Of The Year 2011

I chose this picture for January Theme Day because it is a picture I was hoping to capture for a very long time. The serendipitous moment happened this past November as I was walking my dog in Black's Creek. I heard geese in the distance making their way toward me and had just enough time to turn and focus my camera toward the sky hoping the geese would appear overhead . . . and they did. Happy New Year and happy photo hunting everyone!

"Under Construction"

This is my Theme Day entry for June. This road has been under construction for a few years, using federal stimulus money. Quincy's last movie theater was demolished to make way for this road aka the cross connector. I would like to be the owner of those orange striped barrels. They must be making a bucket-load renting them out.

October Theme Day: Graffiti

There isn't an abundance of graffiti in Quincy. I spotted this unspectacular graffiti on the remnants of an old pier in the Marina Bay area. That red brick building across the bay is the University of Massachusetts, Boston campus, and to the far right of it is the JFK Presidential Library.
