What are all these people waiting for? 

Maybe The Who are giving a free concert... 

...or Johnny Depp's walking down the Red Carpet... 

...or Air Force One is about to land in this field...

...nope, just this: Three minutes of Old Faithful erupting in Yellowstone National Park. 

The American Southwest has beautiful rock formations such as this in many areas. This particular formation can be found along US 84, northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

The World Famous Planet Follywood in Folly Beach, South Carolina. 

Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, California is a beautiful place that perfectly captures the stereotypical Southern California image. 

These avalanche/snow sheds are along the Canadian National tracks in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. That is the Thompson River flowing through the scene. 

This is my favorite bridge across the Seine River in Paris, France. It is the Pont des Arts, a pedestrian only bridge bustling with people. From this bridge you get the best "I am in Paris" view, including Notre Dame, The Louvre and of course, the Eiffel Tower. (Scanned Print)  

Boston's Neighborhoods Part 3: The Back Bay

The Back Bay is the most elegant neighborhood in Boston. Created on landfill over a 50 year period in the mid 19th Century, it doesn't have the same sense of history that Beacon Hill and the North End have. But it more than makes up for this in style and charm. The streets run straight in the Back Bay, a novel idea for the city of Boston. And this creates a wonderful sense of scale that other Boston neighborhoods lack. Stand on Beacon Street, or Marlborough Street, or Commonwealth Avenue and the Back Bay seems to stretch forever. Block after block, street after street of tree lined, brownstone flats. Marching as far as the eye can see. If I could live anywhere in Boston, I would definately choose the Back Bay.

Multiply this picture by 1000 and you will have the Back Bay. 

This is a typical street in the Back Bay. 

All the homes in the Back Bay have this warm, inviting feel to them. Most have impressive front doors and foyers. Winding staircases lead to the upper floors.

The main shopping street in the Back Bay is Newbury Street. It is lined with outdoor cafes and exclusive, trendy shops. 

All along the north end of the Back Bay is the Charles River Esplanade. This is a great place for a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, with terrific views of Downtown Boston and MIT across the river in Cambridge. 

The Public Garden, located at the east end of the Back Bay, is a lovely park that features the Swan Boats, a fixture in the Garden since 1877.
