A rolling cart vendor beside Fort Point Channel. Note the long shadows at midday.
I enjoy strolling by this spot under the Seaport Avenue bridge over Fort Point Channel - I usually find the lighting ethereal.

All the green is part of the Rose Kennedy Greenway. It was formerly an interstate multi-lane highway on the surface racing through downtown and making a horrible nuisance.

On this day, it hosted a food festival.
Lots of different cuisines and products and people.

It was a perfect end of summer day - clear skies, light wind, and a 72 degree F temperature.

I always get a kick out of the shrieking children frolicking in this fountain.

At the vent building, the latest mural looks like this. I enjoy the contrast and scale of the young soccer ball player against the mural and adjacent building.

Inbound car traffic was very slow so I decided spontaneously to take the subway from Quincy Adams instead. It was one of those trips I should have planned more thoughtfully. Sometimes, sections of the subway lines are closed on weekends for maintenance on a particular section. At those times, everyone must disembark at a particular station, (in this case inbound at JFK), ride a bus waiting outside, then re-board the subway (in this case inbound at Broadway) and continue onward. It was efficient and well-managed but, still tedious and not as easy as simply riding a single train into town. The same routine played outbound.
Regardless, it was a spectacular day to enjoy the world-class city of Boston!
