Enjoy your freedoms?
Sure you do, that's the American way.
Your freedom started in Boston, a succession of American firsts, including the bloodiest battle (for freedom) at Bunker Hill. First library. First public school. First subway. First Navy Fleet. First time American Constitution read aloud.
This is a delicious city steeped in American history and beginnings, where the best of nature, art and man coalesce in magnificence.
Subways run on time.
Traditional and new architecture shimmer in the sun.
And when I dropped a pen from my purse in the underground subway, saving who knows how much carbon emissions by not driving alone in L.A., a young man picked up my pen with a smile under a mural depicting animals and nature.
Manners and nature.
Everywhere.
I love Boston, and soon I'll tell you why in a comprehensive article but I couldn't wait for you to glimpse its grandeur with photos from last night's photo shoot at Bunker Hill. I love the angles, strength, and sky.
That's Colonel William Prescott. He led the colonists against the British at Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War.
This is America's revolutionary city, where history jumps to life on clean streets without leaf blowers.
Building spirals reach for clean skies in large part due to a low population and little industry outside of Ivy League schools. And government? Wow. Housed in an-honest-to-God gold dome.
The city of Boston prioritizes people and nature. And there's symmetry and a plan to their city design and architecture. I was so impressed.
I hope you'll stay tuned for my clean air Boston review. But for now if you'll excuse me, I have a smooth 2010 Good Earth Fine Wine to attend to along with a new crop of photos.
