01-Route * The route I walked in Boston circumvented the Financial District - most of this area is created by lowering hills in the environment and fill the shores. I arrived at the South Station Busterminal, walked to Boston Common, joined the Freedom Trail tour and went back along the old harbour - now converted into an expensive living area. * 1059 x 1089 * (204KB)

05-AtlanticBvld-SummerStr * Near the crossing of Atlantic Boulevard and Summer Street. Tha glass triangle is actually the roof of an underground station. As any financial district, offices reach for the sky. * 1416 x 1581 * (326KB)

06-BostonCommon * Boston Common - similar to Londons Hyde Park. * 1984 x 1488 * (588KB)

07-NewCityHall * The new Town Hall with it's golden (!) roof. In the Second Worldwar, the dome was pained gray. It looks like the Capitol in Washington, and this is not a coincidence: This building was more or less the final rehearsal - it's the same architect. * 1209 x 1884 * (307KB)

08-GranaryBurringGround-1 * One of the oldest cemeraties - burrial grounds - of Boston. Here three persons are burried that had great influence on the freedom of the USA. The ones I remember are Otis and Adams. The trianglular 'tomb' on the right is dedicated to another famous Bostonian: Benjamin Franklin. But the left Boston and died in Philadelphia - and is burried there:This memorial commemorates his parents. * 1984 x 1488 * (626KB)
