Another beautiful fall day in the city of Boston as viewed from the 26th floor observation deck at the Custom House. In this easterly perspective, Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park is in the foreground, Boston Harbor in the center and, East Boston and Logan Airport in the distance.
To the south, the Rose Kennedy Greenway cuts through this part of downtown Boston providing a delightful greenspace for residents and visitors to enjoy.
A powerful display at the New England Holocaust Memorial near Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston.
A view in City Hall plaza.
In the North End neighborhood, the always crowded iconic pastry shop - Mike's Pastry - is trying to keep up selling cannolis and other treats to a crowd that just keeps on coming in the door in an endless stream.
Dusk over Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Marketplace.
This and the remainder of images are captured in the deepening dusk during the blue hour.
The conical roof building is the former Flour and Grain Exchange completed in 1892. The architectural style is Romanesque Revival, with tiered arched windows and a conical roof. I don't see many of this style around here.
The northward view, Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall in the foreground.
The southern view with the Harbor Towers at left, Rowes Wharf at center, and the Fan Pier and Seaport District in the distance.
Northward, a little bit later and darker.
I am always fond of standing on high places especially at sunset or rise - although I don't often get out the door by sunrise anymore (except to refill the bird feeder) - one of the perks of retirement.
