Nope.. not on the Riverway.

I'll drop more clues if necessary in a bit.
 
Third one is inside the Charlesgate-Storrow Drive interchange. Is it a pumping station?
 
I thought the third one might have been from around the JFK station in Dorchester...near the Statie barracks.
 
Ron got the third one correct, and I do believe it was a pumphouse. No on the Dorchester or Chestnut Hill guesses.

Hint for the first picture: It's somewhere north of Beacon Street.

Hint for the second: it's somewhere in the core Boston area (Downtown/Beacon Hill/North End).
 
Is the first is the boundary of Amory Woods in Brookline?
 
Bingo! Here's the view to the east:

Nobody's biting on the second one, so here's another hint: it's an obsolete public facility.

Let's play a game: Guess The Location!

This pastoral Brookline scene can be found in the dense eastern part of town, and affords a nice skyline view

Look for the blue to give you a clue:

This one used to see blue, but now is nestled within a concrete forest:

^This is the building I used to piss behind before I got on Storro drive!The second one is at an old Mdc pool on Storro drive or maybe the one in Brighton The 1st looks like one of the roads in the blue hills?
 
The second one is gonna have to be part of an old blue line station?
 
^ There ya go, Paul. The blue I cryptically referred to was the blue of the swimming pool you could see in the lower left of the pic.

.

Two more to ponder -- this first one I'm guessing is pretty easy:

And hopefully this one will be a bit harder:

The Adams Court House being hidden behind the Center Plaza Building, to me at least, is the greatest sin of Government Center. I can forgive the Federal Building and the Plaza (at least they seemed like a good idea at the time), but what would compel a person to hide one of the best buildings in the city down a side street?
 
Nice pictures, Jimbo.

I feel as though the Wilbur Theater needs some TLC. Jeez, everywhere I look there are buildings I think would be better updated rather than replaced.
 
Oppressively dreary. It strikes me as though you're trying too hard, like the emo kids with the tight jeans and make up.
 
Dreary? Really? LOL...I didn't think of these as dreary at all. The light in Parcel N is freaking gorgeous. Very little effort went into the shooting or the processing. I am on a big industrial kick lately. Bethlehem Steel or some of the stuff in Detroit is the "best" in terms of industrial spaces, but nowhere has light like Parcel N. I suppose I could have left/bumped the saturation a bit but THAT is always what strikes me as "trying to hard". Oh well..thanks for the feedback. :D
