Quincy Quarries, Quincy Quarries Reservation, Quincy, Massachusetts, USA

 

The Quincy Quarries, 10 miles south of downtown Boston, produced granite for over a century. Now, the 22-acre section of the former quarry is owned and operated as a public recreation area. Much of the dirt that fills in where the water was came from the Big Dig, the tunneling project under downtown Boston.



In its life now as a park, it is a popular living canvas for graffiti sprayers, rock climbing classes, and just a nice outdoor space to enjoy the outdoors on a fine day.



There are young folk scrambling around at the lower section and ....



....more advanced technical rock climbing anchored from the top.



There seemed to be plenty of both instructors and students.



What a beautiful spot on a nice fall New England day.
