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 in pre-dawn light

Robbins Farm in Arlington, MA, just down from the water tower.  Unlike Prospect Hill Park, it only takes me ten minutes from when I climb in to my car until I am setup to take pictures at Robbins Farm.  This makes Robbins Farm more convenient, except that it is further north than Prospect Hill Park.  From Arlington, the sun rises behind Boston only in December.

On November 27th, with no clouds in the sky, I drove over to Robbins Hill Park and set up for the sunrise.  I took this picture a few minutes before the sun came up.
