WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge:
A Face in the Crowd
This week’s challenge are faces “in the crowd.” These are the people you never meet. Crowds of tourists. The folks lined up to buy tickets at the game. Happy faces, worried faces.

Tourists
More tourists
This is a favorite subject. I’m less interested in landscape and more interested in the people, their dogs, and the stories I’ll never know. They give a human shape to Boston, a story different than just the sidewalks and walls.
Waiting in line
This is Boston’s Wharf. Tourists. Visiting us while we visit them.

People watching, my favorite past time. Such fun! Wish I had nerve like you to take pictures though.

Eventually, you just take pictures. Especially if you like city architecture, you can’t make the entire population disappear. So you get people. With the buildings.

The Boston water front looks a lot like the Toronto water front to me.

Well, more or less the same water, right? Vaguely Atlantic-ish.

Tourists are such interesting people to watch, aren’t they? So diverse and they walk around with a curious yet dazed look 🙂

I think dazed look has to do with how expensive the parking is.

Right, Marilyn. Dazed is trying to find a parking space and then fighting a townie for that space. Confused is when the local news cams show up and make you breaking news.

I think by the time I stop having pains in my heart at the parking prices, they could put me on national TV and I would still me dazed. Okay. Confused, too.

And I never even realised that Boston had a wharf

Oh yes. That is the original Boston. The reason that Boston was so important is that we have a great harbor. That’s true also of New York. Harbor cities are a big deal on both coasts. The original Boston just hugged the water’s edge. That’s where all the really old buildings are.

You can smell it, Pat.

Don’t forget, I grew up near the River Thames, so I know what you mean

Yes, that smell is unmistakable. Especially at LOW tide.

Pat, I remember the Thames odor on my first visit overseas. Not like I envisioned from the movies.
