A Few Massachusetts Photos

I don’t do environment photos on vacation, or photos much at all, but here are two photos and a video from a recent trip to Massachusetts.

We were walking the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, and I saw the stained glass of the First Baptist Church of Boston, which faces north and a little west, across Commonwealth Avenue. Not a great photo, but it looked grander in person, as how it usually goes:

There’s a tower of structure right to its left, which is where the altar and pipe organ are located inside, but I couldn’t get a serviceable photo of it. There is a sculpted frieze at the top of it, recently restored.

I got a photo of Son of Jay down the street on Clarendon, at the John Hancock Tower, the tallest building in Boston/Massachusetts/New England, because he likes geography and statistics. Here is, not a photo, but a video of me, as he thought a video would be better to capture the scope. I guess it worked:

The building you see in the reflection is the Five Hundred Boylston building, on the St. James Avenue side. There’s mostly offices and some retail shops and restaurants in there. Don’t know exactly what the other building is reflected on the Hancock surface, but it looks like a church.

Here’s what I thought was construction going on in Northborough, taken from Northborough Crossing, where I bought a tiny $9 jar of clotted cream at Wegman’s. It was worth it, as it’s the only place I’ve ever found it and clotted cream is wonderful.

Anyways, it’s not construction but a sand and gravel processing plant, owned by Kimball Sand. Interesting.
