Out and About, Downtown, Boston, Massachusetts, USA



Another day trip to the big city of Boston.  This was a two-mile walk that began and ended by the Public Garden on Charles Street. I always enjoy wandering about this world-class city - even during the pandemic - although finding a restroom is a challenge.



A fancy Back Bay neighborhood street view of a private residence entrance.



Sailboats are idle along the Charles River at Community Boating.



This scene is in the Beacon Hill neighborhood - I am fascinated by the curved glass and copper clad window structure on this townhouse.



A popular street scene in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Great cobblestones!
 


Same view as previous image but, with different post-processing treatment.



Each of the townhouses on the left are valued in the 2-4 million USD range according to Zillow.



Back in the Public Garden, someone has enhanced (or defiled?) the classic "Make Way for Ducklings" sculpture. It is a 1987 bronze artwork honoring the 1941 children's book of the same name.


A towel spread out on the grass is the perfect way to spend a lazy day - it includes built-in social distancing.

Although it was close to 90 degrees F today, the overcast made wandering about mostly pleasant.
