Description

This view of Boston's skyline over the harbor had such a striking and classic feel to it that I decided to really take it in that direction fully. Thus the vintage or retro color and the graphic quality.

Boston is one of those city's that I knew the general history of it, but the present day was something of a blank slate, but the moment I really got into Boston, walked its streets and, yes, took a harbor tour, I was quite in love with the city. I could definitely see why some people say it has a feel of a European city. There's something of the best of both worlds in Boston, the best of America and an old world quality as well. It's partly that eclectic nature of old cities that I love. I really like getting the chance to see modern architecture rubbing shoulders with living history.

And although the bulk of those skyscrapers in this view of the Boston skyline feel modern now, it will all appear quite quaint some day. Today's cutting edge is tomorrow's old world architecture after all!
