Boston Cityscape from Public Gardens


Boston Cityscape from Public Gardens

This image began during last week's visit to Boston's Public Gardens. It was chilly that day, but I thought my Brazilian visitors would like to see the spring flowers, so we walked down Newbury Street all the way to the park. It was almost 7 PM by the time we got to the Public Gardens, but there was still enough light to see the beautiful colors, and to take pictures. Tonight I edited the original photo to get this image, adjusting the shadows and cropping. You can't capture everything in a photo (and it is usually a mistake to try). But at least this photo shows the contrast of Boston's skyline and the flowering trees. You can see the rows of tulips, a glimpse of the swan boats on the lagoon, and a bit of the State House dome.
