Continuing my visit in downtown Boston, I walked from the Quincy Market area to the Downtown Crossing area where old and new coexist - the Old South Meeting House at left, and the new Millennium Tower still under construction at right. The Old South Meeting House, built in 1729, was the organizing site for the Boston Tea Party in 1773.
Millennium Tower under construction. (A one bedroom condo sells for $750,000 USD and up).
Imagine being this crane operator - I assume that his/her workday begins by climbing the stairs inside the shaft at left all the way to the top. And at the end of the day he/she has to walk back down. Whew.
Much of the Downtown Crossing is an automobile-free zone.
Boston's Theatre District and Chinatown are adjacent to the Downtown Crossing area.
I applied some special post-processing to create this harsh black and white high contrast look.
And like everywhere in Boston, folks enjoy the fleeting opportunity to eat outside - soon enough it will be too cold - already, long pants are beginning to replace shorts.
Boston is a world-class city that still manages to be intimate, walkable, and friendly.
