Boston Common Path


After a weekend of warmer temperatures, winter returned with rain and more snow on Monday. The path we see here in the Common runs parallel to Beacon Street and is known as the Beacon Street Mall. My vantage point was on the stairs leading up to Joy Street, about halfway down the Mall.

William Makepeace Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair, on his visits here in the 1850s regarded the elms on this mall to be in a class with "those in the long walk" at Windsor Castle.
