She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
The Old State House in Boston, built in 1713, is a historic building that served as the seat of the Massachusetts General Court and the center of colonial Boston before it became a museum celebrating revolutionary history. Located on the Freedom Trail, it's known as the site where the Declaration of Independence was first read to Bostonians from its balcony and where British symbols were burned in 1776. Today, it is a museum and a key landmark for understanding Boston's revolutionary past.
Boston is the capital and largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States.

2O16, the 1315 Skegness - Nottingham crosses the River Witham at Boston, just fitting in between some rushing clouds on this windy day. The Grand Sluice, just behind the railway bridge, was constructed in the late 18th century and controlled tidal flow into the River Witham, allowing large areas of marsh to be reclaimed and the upper waterway managed as a river rather than a wide estuary. The Stump, the massive church tower, was built in an earlier stage of Boston's prosperity, the 16th century. Boston Docks are nearer the sea, some cranes are visible in the background. The railway is a relatively recent arrival, a wooden bridge in the 1840s replaced by the current iron structure in the 1880s.
I moved to Boston!
I thought I would post road trip photos first, but as it turns out there are a lot to sort out and my internet access is still pretty iffy. So instead, here's my first photo of the Boston skyline seen from the Tufts Tisch Library roof. I'll be very busy the first couple months so don't expect much photography at first (I'll probably continue posting the rest of my leftover chicago and road trip photos instead), but after that I hope to do some exploring.
A night out on Washington Street.
Actually, Bonney's fine photo that underlies this image shows the Paramount with lights ablaze in the full light of day, open for a matinee on a rainy afternoon. Quite a different in mood, it is a great photo, upon which the composition of this image entirely depends. I think the solitary car, so perfectly placed in the frame, adds energy as well as balance. Genius!
