Undiscovered Territory
Well I am finally enjoying some of that nice weather summer promises- I've been out and about very busy!
Last week I was out taking a walk with a friend taking a "History of Boston" class. He wanted to find a bridge mentioned in class that was originally planned to be a grand entrance into the Fenway area and since has been covered by the Mass Pike, Storrow Drive, and lots of traffic.
Well we found it after a bit of climbing and much to my surprise there was another man there who looked as if he was taking pictures of the bridge with his cell phone. Living in a city, I've always been cautious of others (especially under an overpass) but much to my surprise he came right over to my friend and me and started talking about the amazing photo he had made earlier in this very spot. Turns out he was a photographer also.
And I have to agree with him, this is a pristine spot. This bridge is right before a bend on the Muddy River so the water lies as still as glass and you see an amazing relfection. With the bustle of the city traffic it is hard to imagine there is a quaint and quiet bridge just below.
We continued our walk around the Charles, up through Beacon Hill and back through the Boston Public Gardens.
