What's that commie block? Back side of Tremont on the Common?

From hence forth it shall be known to these boards as "Commie Block on the Park" (said of course with a Boston accent so it rhymes).

Soooo I just picked up a bitchin' telephoto lens this morning.....

And here's the same view from my room you've all seen eleventy billion times by now....FYI the Pru is 4 1/2 miles away.

Assuming my workload doesn't get too crazy, I think I shall head in tomorrow and really see what this guy can do. Memorial Drive here I come!

If you pan about -- can you see anymore of the downtown skyline?

In due time, good sir. PS nice to see you roaming around here again.

Nope. See this post for a zoomed out shot. The only other things I can make out are the lights on top of BU's big newish dorm tower, and even then I can only see those when the leaves are off the trees.

Today, with the new lens:

Lots more to come...

Damn, KZ, that first shot is an angle I've never seen before.

That zoom lens is giving you new eyes.

Great stuff!

If Charles Bulfinch saw how much of the city was coming to resemble this, he would want to die all over again.

Nice to see my neighborhood in one of those Cambridge pics!

Hey, wasn't it supposed to snow today? Here are a few random shots from the one time it did snow last month.

Ohhh! I'm in love with the 2nd pic!

Bulfinch wouldn't notice that - - - he'd be too mesmerized/bewildered by the automobile.

Oooh and I'm liking piggiston's third shot. You could practically eat that brick texture!

Tell me about it. Walking around the other day I was struck by how many "new" things I was seeing on streets I've walked countless times before. All of the sudden I want to go out taking pics a whole lot more.

Upper Tremont Street next to the Granary Burial Ground. You can see the Kings Chapel in the distance, on the right. Other buildings are all gone.

From a 1794 painting in the MFA's collection.

^ I'm pretty sure you post very interesting images in tiny resolutions in an attempt to drive us all crazy.

Snow always goes well with Paul as well as with George and the Indian at the MFA
