Time out from Ukraine for some photos taken in Boston in July 2013. We were in Massachusetts and Maine to visit family and took a quick trip into Boston. Some of these were taken from a car – e.g., the bridge photos and skylines. The rest were in the Haymarket area (between the North End and Government Center). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not stop taking pictures of the The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. Completed, in 2003, \u201cThe Zakim\u201d is one of the widest cable-stayed bridges in the world. Built long after my time in Boston in the 1960s. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

View from the Haymarket area. Faneuil Hall is the building with the gold dome. At right is the Custom House tower. The tower was added to the original 1837-1847 building in 1915-1917. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And finally the Haymarket. Wikipedia says the Haymarket open air market traces its history to 1830. Haymarket is always fun both for shopping and entertainment. You get an up close and personal view of the things you are considering buying… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
