Sunrise in Boston

This series of pictures represents my attempt to capture the perfect picture of the sun rising behind the city of Boston. I have been using two overlooks, Prospect Hill Park in Waltham and Robbins Farm in Arlington to get a view of the city. In the fall and winter, the rusing sun can be seen behind the city from these vantage points (depending on the date).

    Boston Sunrise - October 27th
  (Oct 27, 2004, 07:12am)

Just one minute after the last picture, the rising sun is now recognizable, although the increased light levels makes it harder to make out the details of the Boston skyline.
    Boston Sunrise - October 27th
  (Oct 27, 2004, 07:11am)

When I woke up it looked like a nice clear morning.  So, with sunrise scheduled for 7:15am, about as late as it will every get, I decided to go over to Prospect Hill Park to capture pictures of the sunrise over Boston.

This picture was taken from Boston Rock, at Prospect Hill Park.  It shows the sun just starting to appear behind the Prudential Center tower in downtown Boston.
    Reflections of Sunrise
  (Dec 22, 2004, 07:19am)

On my way back to my car (after taking sunrise pictures from Robbins Farm in Arlington), I took took this picture showing the reflection of the sunrise in the window pane of a nearby school.

This is a real photograph, not a digital creation.  I did crop the original picture to just show a close up of the upper-left pane of the window.  And the image was rotated and de-skewed slightly.  Otherwise, this photograph shows the reflection exactly as it was.

Here is a link to the uncropped original picture.
