| Above the Big Dig in Boston, captured by photo princess passenger Patti |
In the foreground to the left at the is the Boston Grain and Flour Exchange Building, completed in 1892. Behind that is the Custom House tower (1915). The former looks like a castle, the skyscraper once the tallest building in Boston at 496 ft (151 M). Calling them 'distinctive' understates their style. I am unsure of today's use of the Exchange; the tower is the Marriott Custom House suite hotel…for me, the lesson is to have a designated photographer passenger ride along on any drive down the road…

It is hard to imagine not being able to see these beautiful buildings and all those trees. I have found exchange buildings to be rather castle like in their design. Must have been the era when they were so important.
How beautiful! The style kind of reminds me of Chicago's water tower (one of the very few buildings remaining from the fire)... Good that these are easily seen now, what a shame to have had them obscured!
Never having visited Boston it's nice to get a glimpse through your designated photographer/passenger's camera lens!
What intrigues me here is the vehicle on the right - is it the back of a bus?
