View of King's Chapel on the corner of School and Tremont Street. King's Chapel was first established in 1686 by the King of England to serve the Tories, loyalists to the crown. After closing its doors during the Revolution, in 1785 the congregation broke its ties with the Episcopal Church and became the first unitarian church in the United States. Read more of the church's history.
View a close up of the church's iron fence I showed a few days ago.

Big Tree
I'm a little tired of all the bare trees and gray skies, so here is colorful tree from last November. A fitting counterpoint to yesterday's bare tree in b+w.

Old State House
This is one of my favorite scenes of Boston, the Old State House viewed from Court Street. It was my very first post on this blog almost three years ago. For history buffs, The Boston Massacre took place in front of the balcony and the original site is marked by a cobblestone circle in the square.
This is my first entry for the Scenic Sunday photo meme. You can see other great scenery photographs by visiting the home of Scenic Sunday.

Portable Post Office

Surreal Snow
A snow storm was predicted for Boston on Wednesday and all the meteorologists were continuously warning us for days of the large amounts of impending snow coming our way. Many people stayed home, businesses closed early and public schools closed. Reality was quite a bit different as you can see from this photo I took about 3:00pm. Yes, that is a snowplow parked and waiting for the snow, along with everyone else. It was pretty surreal with an almost empty downtown.
We did get some snow later, but only a couple of inches. I wish I could be wrong as much as meteorologists are and still keep my job, but then I'm not in the

Monochrome Monday
Monochrome Monday brings us to Park Street and people soliciting for a cause. Sometimes the cause people solicit for is for themselves (panhandlers), and sometimes the cause is for others.
Panhandlers are mostly benign as they ask for change and some even offer good wishes as you hurry by.

Fanueil Hall, Interior
It's hard to believe, but this is Fanueil Hall on a weekday. On warmer days this place is extremely crowded, but on a cold February day it offers a little warmth on a lunchtime stroll.
