The crew of the fishing vessel Osprey leave Boston Harbor at sunrise.
Later, the Queen Mary 2, the huge Cunard Lines’ cruise ship, enters Boston’s Black Falcon Terminal.
The next day the rising sun, shining upon windows of Southie’s Drydock building, makes a colorful pattern.
Marine Week Boston flew into town this morning, and in a very picturesque way. Helicopters and an Osprey Tilt-Rotor craft landed on Boston Common. I happened to have the day off but wanted to snap some photos anyway, so I grabbed my 800mm telephoto lens and drove to Memorial Drive in Cambridge. I figured this would be a unique view. The first helicopter had a pilot with an estute sense of aesthetics as he flew right alongside the Prudential Center. Here are my photos of the very pleasant Marine “invasion”. As always, click on photos to make them bigger.
