The Old John Hancock building

The Berkeley Building, also known as the Old John Hancock Building is wonderful example of art deco architecture built in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. It's a 26-story building built in 1947 by architect firm Cram and Ferguson. The famous storm beacon pictured here offers the weather forecast of the day with its colored lights of red or blue.

There is a poem that explains this colored weather beacon. It goes like this;

Steady blue, clear view.

Flashing blue, clouds due.

Steady red, rain ahead.

Flashing red, snow instead.

Also during baseball season a flashing red beacon means the Boston Red Sox game has been canceled because of bad weather.

Boston Sunsets are dramatic this time of year

Call for Art for Upcoming Roslindale Library Art Gallery Exhibit.

Locally, here in Roslindale, I have submitted two photographs for an upcoming juried show called "The Essence of Roslindale", which will be at the Roslindale Branch Boston Public Library. Deadline for submission is Jan 3, 2024.

My 2 submissions pictured below are called Village Courtyard Alley and Morning Snow on Birch Street.

Village Courtyard Alley

Village Courtyard Alley photograph was taken in 2007. It was my attempt to document and glorify the Village Courtyard's brick and its deep orange color.  The photograph marks the time when the gates were onced used at the entrance to Birch Street.

Morning Snow on Birch StreetMorning Snow on Birch Street photograph was taken in 2005 while walking on a snowy morning to the Roslindale Village train station to catch a morning train to work. It was my attempt to capture the features of the Birch Street buildings and storefront architecture while creating an undefined but recognizable winter scene. Although the figure with the umbrella was the inspiration for this photograph, I feel helped create a mood for that damp, dark and snowy morning as I remember it as I passed through Birch Street that morning in Roslindale, MA.

Boston's new view 52 stories up

I recently visited the all new 360 degree view of Boston. VIEW BOSTON It's 52 stories up with breathtaking views on top of Boston's Prudential Center, which is one of the tallest buildings in New England. It's an interactive experience. And while your there check out the restuarant The Beacon, and a an open air bar Stratus, and gift shop. @Viewboston

I just got back from a fun filled trip to Europe - Paris, London, & Devon, UK 9/2023

Of course while traveling in Europe, you can bet I had my iPhone documenting anything that my visual awareness deemed image worthy. Heck, I even had to buy more storage space from Apple to accommodate all my new photos and videos taken. Here on my website I will be posting my favorite images from the 3 locations and will ultimately provide links of more photos from those travel destinations on my Instagram account. (Currently, I have only uploaded local view Boston pictures to my Instagram account, and trying to figure out how to add a second catagory to my Instagram account in an effort to keep the groups of photographs seperate.)
