Description

Over the past few years I've been around the city capturing the different views of the Boston Skyline. Each view unique and ever changing in various lighting.

The tall buildings of Back Bay with the Charles River in the foreground, frozen in the winter or bustling with the activity of rowers and sailboats in all other seasons.

Or the skyscrapers of the Financial District towering over Boston Harbor as seen from the Harborwalk at Rowes Wharf.

Even from East Boston at Piers or Lopresti Park, you can get an entire view of the skyline from end to end.

But I think what's become my favorite view of Boston Harbor doesn't include the skyline at all. Looking towards the right of the skyline from Lopresti Park, is a most impressive view of the Zakim Bridge, the USS Constitution in Constitution Marina, and the Bunker Hill Monument. Even better when viewed at sunset during Blue Hour when all the buildings, boats, landmarks and the Zakim on the wharf are lit up.
