1021 Boston From Space
36x24 inches (91x61cm), Landsat TM data. Boston is a city of contrasts, a gentle blend of the old and the new. The city has a very English feel about it, with hilly, crooked, cobblestone streets, and cozy Victorian townhouses with polished brass door-knockers. It also played a vital role in the opposition to colonial rule that led to the American War of Independence. The Freedom Trail, which is marked by signs and a red pavement line, is a walk that passes 16 points of historical interest, some of which are in the Boston National Historical Park. John Hancock Observatory, offers a bird's-eye view of the city, the famous museum of Science; the John F Kennedy Library and Museum; the New England Aquarium; the Old North Church; the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum; Faneuil Hall. As seen from space this cities lush greenery is what makes this a beautiful view from space.
