My Eyes for Boston
This is a collection of photos that I took of the Boston skyline and of the areas surrounding the city over the course of fall 2010.
The first part of this series pertains to the skyline, industrial areas and transit of Boston and its surrounding areas. The second part of the series will deal with the relations between UMass Boston and the sea. Three photos showcasing Morrissey Boulevard and some of the shuttle buses that run between the UMass Boston campus and the JFK-UMass station. The second photo of the "series" also has some skyline as a backdrop. image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/...cbf32e0b_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5286/...de19906b_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5201/...184c332b_b.jpg The Boston skyline on an early October day. image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/...265c402b_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/...769ddf2f_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/...d299e6cf_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/...7d425a9a_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5210/...f3bf6204_b.jpg And some evening shots of the area around Northeastern to top the day off. image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5250/...6e03d9be_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5002/...b759d443_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5045/...ccb04249_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5048/...b024dcf4_b.jpg image hosted on flickr  http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/...d5167309_b.jpg In the next batch of photos, my eyes will suck much less.

Okay, I lied about the post above being the end of part I. Here are more photos, taken just today. As with the ones above, I took these during my daily commute into Boston (by the way, the links to my own photos are just for the purpose of covering my ass).

I'll just update this page with my latest set of photos from Boston. I'll limit them to 4 per post. I hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Interesting pics. From where exactly did you take the set of aerials in the first post?
In this picture you can see the historic Boston Greek Orthodox cathedral in classical/byzantine style with its five blue domes. image hosted on flickr I wonder if you have a pic of the cathedral from street level as well as the other historic buildings around there; universities, museums etc? |

It does not look bad at all from the Cambridge side or from Boston Harbor. But there are not a lot of high rises.
