Last sight of Boston Massachusetts
The final photograph I took during my recent trip. We arrived at Logan Airport just as the sun was setting. Had a little time to spare so I took a shot or two looking across in the direction of Boston. The tripod was packed so this was hand held.
This might well be the last time I take a photograph in the USA. We do unfortunately need to reduce the amount we spend on travel and three-week road trips are pretty expensive. I have enjoyed immensely the opportunity to tour parts of the USA over the past twenty years and driving over 30,000 miles in your incredibly beautiful country. The vast majority of the Americans I have met during these visits were so very warm and welcoming.
Thanks for following the route of my recent holiday. Obviously I have many other photographs to post from this last trip well over well over a hundred. They will appear randomly over the coming months or years, I still have shots in the archives from our trips to the US in 2014 and 2016 so lots more American images to come.
Sadly must end on a negative note. It’s almost beyond belief when a leader of another democratic country endorses the views of a criminal and extreme right wing group in my country. I do not use the word criminal hyperbolically; some of its members are in jail for racialist attacks. The deputy leader of this group “Britain First” Jayda Fransen is currently on bail charged with inciting racial hatred and other public order offences. She will appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Thursday 14 December. Imagine how furious Americans would feel if a British politician showed their support for the Ku Klux Klan
In case you feel I am being extreme in my reaction let me quote the British prime Minister Teresa May not someone on the whole I tend to agree with on any issue .10 Downing Street said and I quote
"British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents - decency, tolerance and respect. It is wrong for the president to have done this."
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
