Boston

Submitted for the PG101 From Above theme.
I took this from the Prudential Tower -- what a great view of this beautiful city. That's the Hancock Building in the center and Boston Commons to the left of it. Trinity Church is the red roofed building to the left of the Hancock; Copley Square, Boston Public Library and the Copley Plaza Hotel are to the right of Copley Square. Thanks to Dave Phalen and Jessica Jenney for the help in identifying landmarks in this image.

An amazing shot of Boston with outstanding color and details!! I see many familiar places I know well...Trinity Church (the red roofed building to the left of the Hancock), Copley Square, Boston Public Library and the Copley Plaza Hotel to the right of Copley Square where my future wife and I visited the Merry-Go-Round bar often. It is long gone now.(: #8537947Diana Powell April 15, 2010
I have a pic of me standing beside the Hancock entryway during the time it was still a 'corkscrew' with caution tape and a couple of blown out windows way up above ...lol.Its been way too long since I've been to Boston, you beautiful image inspires me to go back #8538114

Beautiful post card shot, Nikki. The reflections on the Hancock Bldg. really pull the viewer in. #8539211Bunny Snow April 16, 2010
Magnificent POV, lighting, sharpness of Boston, Nikki. The Hancock Building is really an eye-catcher and you caught our eyes. I've never seen Boston looking so clear. Must have been after a rain storm when the atmosphere is cleansed of smog...or your wonderful use of Photoshop and plug-ins.Beautiful theme entry. #8539360
