Sunset from Apartment Window

January 23, 2008

Sunset view from my apartment window

Since I've had a horrendous week, and it's only going to get busier before it all ends late Saturday night, I have been hard-pressed for time to snap pictures. Hence, the lack of a January 22 post.

I did manage to arrive home tonight for our spectacular sunset, which was described on the news as a nice ending to a "pleasant day", pleasant by Boston's standards in mid-January. Anyway, this view looks westward from my bedroom window. The construction of 1330 Boylston Street dominates the view in the distance. While it has destroyed my view of the impressive Art Deco Landmark Center, once a Sears Roebuck store and warehouse and recently redeveloped into a giant retail complex, this new construction between Landmark Center and my window is yet another step towards the remaking and gentrification of Boston's Fenway neighborhood.
