Boston, Massachusetts

After a serious day's tourism around this wonderful city, we finished
the day on the 50th floor viewing platform of the Prudential Tower.

It was awesome to watch before us as the city changed from dusk to night.

Due to the security restrictions at London's Heathrow airport, I have left
my Canon gear at home. But I think this picture shows how capable
the P&S digi-cams can be. I'm certainly very impressed with the Fuji E900

I cannot recommend highly enough what a great place this is to visit for
a city break. Two days was just not long enough!

More pics soon .........

Fabulous city-scape John!GMV

I'm not a fan of big cities but this cityscape is beautiful. I've been to Boston several times but just long enough to get a rental car and head to the White Mountains. This certainly makes it look worth a visit. Very well done John. Vote.

Alright, nice work! I'm so glad you got to the top of the Pru at dusk - it's my favorite time to be there. I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures! GMV, of course :)

Fantastic shot! Not only proof of what a P&S can do, but proof that you have the talent even without the expensive gear. voted

What a great view. Are you enjoying your visit to the USA?
Carole Stevens30-Aug-2006 22:04
Stunning shot a magnificent view John cant wait to see the rest! Ill have to get details of your camera you took I need a little one to carry around!

This brings back memories of our trip to Boston in March. Superb image, I took the same views but during the day, and I can also vouch for the quality of point and shoot digicams as my D70 decided to throw an error wobbly whilst up the tower and I had to use my tiny Canon Ixus. Glad you're enjoying your trip.
Guest 30-Aug-2006 21:12
I'm astonished! Absolutely superb image - v - but for some reason I thought Boston was quite an old-world place! How wrong I was!

What a view...hope it's all good there !!
Bob Floyd30-Aug-2006 20:22
Excellent job, John! You make me wish I had caught this view on my last visit up there. V.

Hand held or braced on railing?

Outstanding! GMV
Guest 30-Aug-2006 17:52
Excellent shot John - I was up there about 20 years ago but I didn't get anything this good. Fuji digicams are great, no question.
Guest 30-Aug-2006 17:44
Great cityscape.

(oops... I hit add comment too soon)
... The only camera I use is a Fuji pocket-sized camera. It is always with 24/7.

I've heard that Boston is one of the coolest places in the states and that Massachusetts is one of the hardest to spell!
A terrific shot, which proves a lot.
