Boston Gothic

A few of my favorite snapshots from this weekend's trip to Boston. A wonderful and wonder-filled time spent with cherished friends.



This and all above are from Trinity Church.

This room was closed for an event - so the Edwin Austin Abbey murals taunted from inside.

  1. Beautiful! I grew up outside of Boston, and now go there every once in a while to meet with my art dealer on Newbury St. It seems, however, that I'm forever rushing through and never have a moment to notice the beautiful details... thanks for reminding me to spend some time noticing next visit!

  3. Valerianna - Boston is just perfection and the perfect combo of cityscape and green spaces. I'd like to hide out in the Isabella Stewart Gardner forever.

  5. Nice! I've passed through Boston a couple of times on my way to Salem, but now that I've seen these I think next time I'll endeavour to stop over for a day or two so I can visit this location & any others I find of interest.

  9. I must be a reincarnated "gothic" person. I love the "for real" gothic cathedrals so much. I love the style even in "copy," especially when it's a very well done copy like these.
