Beautiful, PigBoy! Thanks for sharing.
I was wishing to see Boston again. Fantastic shots, specially those skyline panoramas. I hope to see more from Boston soon. I love that pretty city. It´s so charming. Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup: |
Thanks for the great panoramas from so many different vantage points!
|
The view from Chelsea is probably my favorite of Boston.
Great set PigBoy! Thanks |
That one from Tufts is badass and shows how dense the inner-ring cities north of Boston are. Is that technically from Sommerville or from Medford?

Great photos Pigboy! |
Niiiice.
|
If you believe Google Maps, the Tufts shot is just barely in Medford. This is the location, and if you zoom out enough it should show the Somerville city line: http://goo.gl/maps/dfYwR

Well played. I'll second the view from Chelsea.
|
awesome work. i especially like the one from Tufts. what's going on with the demo?

Gorgeous! Is there a building boom going on? I see many cranes in these shots (and new buildings, being that I haven't been there since 2004).

LSyd, the demo work you see was done for Filene's / Millennium Tower, which will break ground in less than 2 months (625 feet tall): http://handelarch.com/images/project...r-boston/1.jpg http://www.massachusettslandusemonit...um%20tower.PNG |
Nicely done. Some of those shots make Boston look HUGE.
|
These are great. Thanks.
I've always been a big fan of Boston's skyline. That shot from Chelsea really shows the density... it's very Lower Manhattan and San Francisco-ish to me. |

Shawn, LSyd: the demo photos here are not the infamous Filene's Hole (looking forward to seeing that crane!) but rather the Dainty Dot building at Kingston and Essex, making way for a residential tower, much to the disappointment of preservationists who failed to save the building. Those shots are from the summer, I think.
Anyway, thanks for the replies, everyone! |

I recall street-viewing Boylston Street at one point, and to my surprise, noticing that the front plaza of the Pru had been filled by a large hotel. Very few times have I noticed the interior of a dense city suddenly become so noticeably narrower! In NYC or Chicago they'll tear down some old 30 floor skyscraper for a new 1000 footer, thus preserving the already existing shadows. ;) |
Man, as a Brookline native, I've always been partial to the skyline views from the Charles. Gotta say, that shot from Chelsea is making me change my tune.

The panos are wicked, and I like how it shows the city set amongst all the trees as soon as you get out only a little ways. Shows it as the most beautiful city on the East Coast for me.
