Hi Rose,
After seeing Rich's super photos of Boston, I decided to send this along to the Lantern.
I took these pictures 2 years ago when I was attending a Mass. College of Art reunion. It was taken from the top floor of their tower building (used to be the old Boston State College building) corner of Huntington and Longwood Avenues. The sun was starting to set and everything turned to gold. I don't know what the tall building in between the Pru and the John Hancock is.
P.S. Am I doing this right? Or is there a way I should be posting pictures directly onto the Lantern?
Ruthie
Hi Ruthie,
ReplyDeleteYes, you certainly are doing it right! Just email your photos and artwork to me or any story you want to share with us and I will be more than happy to post it on the Lantern for you!
You are able to leave comments on the bottom of any entry for our classmates to view as well.
Thanks for adding your name to the "Follower" list.
Great Send!
Hugs, Rose
Ruthie, I loved the picture, you certainly captured the skyline at the right time. The gold hue is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteWill you be coming to the luncheon? I do hope you will be able to.
Ruthie,
ReplyDeleteI was able to include your second photo the minute you sent it to me.
Forgot to mention...so happy that you will be attending the Luncheon.......
See you soon Sweetie!
Hugs, Rose

Ruthie,
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos of Boston! You've captured its essence. . . beauty and class.
For almost twenty years, my territory was downtown Boston so I was in and out of the city daily. While I love the city, dealing with its infamous traffic, parking problems, construction snafus, "obnoxious" people, time constraints and other exigencies of my job often made me scream out in frustration. Then, if it were Springtime, I'd turn down Comm. Ave. and see the beautiful magnolia trees in bloom and people walking their dogs and the lovely brownstones and find myself breathing easier. Or, instead, I'd drive on over to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and be transported to Italy for an hour or so, and regain my composure.
But sometimes, I'd just walk by the waterfront and breathe in cool, fresh sea air and feel invigorated. And, dare I mention browsing Newbury St.????
Enough said.
In any case, Boston is a great city and it's even more desirable now that the Big Dig is finished and lots of new apartment buildings, office towers, hotels and restaurants have been built and the fabulous Harbor Walk Way is finished and, most important of all, I have retired and can enjoy all that Boston has to offer on my own time!
Meri,
ReplyDeleteWalking down Comm Ave. in the spring (late spring, that is) has always made me happy, too.
I just wish Newbury Street was like it used to be. Funky shops, wicked cool artsy people and inspiring art galleries. I resent the invasion of the upscale chain stores that are there now. However, I do like lunch at Sonsie.
And I also resent being older and unable to pull off being one of those wicked cool artsy people any more.
Such a tragedy.
Merri, both you Ruth are bringing back memories of Boston. In the spring I would cut many a class and head down Newbury St. to the Commons. Even when I was working I called in sick one day and took my daughter for a day on the Swan boats in the common. Little did I know that the man with the 'big camera' was from TV 4 and his news story line was how people were out in the commons enjoying this fantastic spring day. Eveyone I worked with , bosses included, were big fans of the TV4 11 o'clock news.....I on the other hand was tired from my big day out in the sun.....Good thing my daughter is cute, they laughed it off. Ahhhhh Spring What fond memories. Thanks girls
