The Highway Home *
8th Place

Boston, MA

Took this on the way home! For those who know Boston, this is taken just outside the Fleet Center/North Station Railway station. It was dusk, hence the nice purple like sky color...the white light on the underneath of the "overpass" is from the commuter rail station and parking lot lights which were wuite brightly shining upwards.

In the background, for those bridge geeks is the Lenny Zackim Bridge. The town of Boston has had construction for the past decade +, and there are some interesting views/sights related to the big dig and such.

Really like the colour and lines on this image - at first i thought they were car lights on the road! Visited Boston several times over a few years when I worked at a well know razor company....would love to get back again. Remember all the digging very well and even went in the museum/gallery about it all!

Thanks all for the positive comments...I'm overwhealmed by the positive reaction to the photo as I of course like it, but do keep questioning the "what if" ... regardless, thanks to all for stopping by and commenting....there has been a lull in my photo taking lately and a large amount of "real" world work to do (real meaning this aint anywhere near a career)...it has felt good the past couple of days to fire off a couple of shutters and get some results which make my creative side contemplate!

Well done.

Wow! This is a splendid image and fits the theme very well. I love the play of shadows and rich hues. Nice work. -- Bruce

Yes, I like this very much. Who would have thought the underside of a roadway could be so interesting and colourful?
You have chosen a good location too, with the road sweeping off to the left. Great job.

Whoa, you sure caught the light exactly right for this one, didn't you? Gosh, what a neat abstract thing you've got going on. Great catch-- well seen! --Nancy/odigi

Melanie, Thanks for the upbeat comment!!! I'm not sure about this...I had no tripod with me...and really prayed that one out of the 5 or so shots I managed to grab was going to be good enough...this I felt was the most interesting for me...still, we always wish for something a little more....but I'm pretty happy (and lucky) with the light I got!

:-D
