The water dancing from the "Rings Fountain" in Boston's Rose Kennedy Greenway reminded me of our city's famous July fireworks. People were having a blast running through the unpredictable bursts of water; the greenway really is living up to its goal of being the city's "great room."
From www.rosekennedygreenway.org:
Perhaps the most well-known feature on the Greenway is the Rings Fountain in the Wharf District Park near Milk Street, adjacent to the New England Aquarium. On summer days, throngs of children and playful adults romp among the jets of water that shoot 20 feet in the air. Set in a spiraling pattern of rose-colored stone inlaid at surface level, the fountain’s 64 nozzles create a display of three choreographed circles of vertical water. Because each nozzle works independently, the patterns of water that result are surprising, mesmerizing and attract many onlookers even on the coolest days.
The Boston Public Libarary is a beautiful palce. The scenery is great with a very homey feel. I felt like I was exploring Hogwarts, along with that, the Oderegard Libaray at the Universy of Washington in Seattle.

This was the back drop to the" Iron Chef cook off" hosted by Billy Costa. It was a benefit for the Big Brothers Association Of Boston and was held at Cyclorama building. There were large murals of colonial streets of Boston, authentic lamp post with custom street signs, garden gates and up lights.

Boston, officially the City of Boston, is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the cultural and financial center of the New England region of the Northeastern United States. The city boundaries encompass an area of about 48.4 sq mi (125 km2) and a population of 675,647 as of 2020. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) home to 4,941,632 people as of 2020, ranking as the eleventh-largest MSA in the country. A broader combined statistical area (CSA), generally corresponding to the commuting area and including Worcester, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, is home to approximately 8.2 million people, making it the seventh-most populous in the United States.
Boston is one of the nation's oldest municipalities, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from the English town of the same name. During the American Revolution and the nation's founding, Boston was the location of several key events, including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the hanging of Paul Revere's lantern signal in Old North Church, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. Following American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to play an important role as a port, manufacturing hub, and center for American education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), the first public school (Boston Latin School, 1635), the first subway system (Tremont Street subway, 1897), and the first large public library (Boston Public Library, 1848).
In the 21st century, Boston has emerged as a global leader in higher education and academic research. Greater Boston's many colleges and universities include Harvard University and MIT, both located in suburban Cambridge and both routinely included among the world's most highly ranked universities. The city is also a national leader in scientific research, law, medicine, engineering, and business. With nearly 5,000 startup companies, the city is considered a global pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States. Boston businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and new investment.

Boston City Hall is the seat of city government of Boston, Massachusetts. It includes the offices of the mayor of Boston and the Boston City Council. The current hall was built in 1968 to assume the functions of the Old City Hall.
It is a controversial and prominent example of Brutalist architecture, part of the modernist movement. It was designed by the architecture firms Kallmann McKinnell & Knowles and Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty, with LeMessurier Consultants as engineers.
Together with the surrounding plaza, City Hall is part of the Government Center complex. This project constituted a major urban redesign effort in the 1960s, as Boston demolished an area of housing and businesses.
The building has been subject to widespread public condemnation, and is sometimes called one of the world's ugliest buildings. Calls for the structure to be demolished have been regularly made even before construction was finished. Architects and critics considered it to be excellent work, with one poll from 1976 finding that professional architects describe Boston City Hall as one of the ten proudest achievements of American architecture.

From Boston in 1908 an advertisement for the 'Hardman Piano' with a recommendation by the opera soprano Emma Calve featuring her photograph by 'Dupont'.
She says - "Gentlemen ~ Your piano is a perfect instrument, and I thank you for having allowed me to become acquainted with it. Yours truly, Emma Calve. March 11, 1908.

This is the only non-blurry photo I have of the Boston Marathon finish line. This is just feet from where the first explosion was, 35 minutes after this photo was taken.
I thank whatever powers may be that I am as short as I am, or I probably would have still been standing here at 2:50 PM, waiting for some friends to cross the finish line. Instead, I moved to get a better view (because clearly I couldn't see much from here).
Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city.
Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.
