From this particular angle, 115 Winthrop Square will perfectly fill in a gap in the skyline.

Another superb shot aside from the three tourists who appear to have never seen the city before.

Interesting. Shows you how Johnson's backdrop building ruined Trinity's silhouette against the sky.

Also shows you the old Brutalist Sasaki square design with the terraced surface like City Hall Plaza's. It was generally full of bums. And those awful double-lollipop luminaires !

Quite a find.

Where did you get the photo?

What's the year?

You can see the new Hancock under construction.

I can't wait for those double-lollopops down at Quincy Market to be replaced.

Copley Square is a good example of Not Getting It Right the first time, but being willing to try again with a different design. City Hall Plaza could have used the same attention.

In Copley's case, the main problem was a plaza level that was several feet below that of any of the surrounding streets.

Not a standout photo in and of itself, but I just got a camera for X-mas (yay!!!), and I'm eager to see what it can do and how it looks up on a forum page!
