I chose this image of Boston’s inner harbor for today’s post because the harbor will be anything but quiet today. A parade of tall ships is arriving for a five-day stay in Boston. The list of ships is long and they are expecting two million people to view the parade. As thrilling as that would be, we had already opted for a charity bicycle tour in another part of the city. With any luck, we may get down to Boston sometime this week to see some of the vessels.

Beautiful and serene! The quiet before the storm š Hope you’ll make it to Boston later this week to make some pics of my much loved ships and vessels! š
I would like to but am not sure of my schedule and the weather. Thank you, Sarah. Cheers!
Yes, it is so serene. Gorgeous shot, Chris. This was taken at 03:00 AM?
So, you have tall ships parade… Sounds nice, but crowdy.
In think I got up at 3:30 to drive to Boston and made this around 5:00. š±
Wow! So early š
If you wantbth
If you want the light, that’s the price you pay. You can go later in winter but it’s cold. š®
I know what you mean, Chris š
And we skipped the tall ship parade. It would have been fun but the crowds and security made it a bit daunting. š
Sometimes we look for quiet places instead crowded š
Have an awesome Sunday, Chris!
Mo-hugs
Thank you Monica. You too. Cheers and hugs. š¼š»š¹šŗ

Ha ha ha. That made me smile. š
Glad to hear :))
How exciting to await the arrival of the tall ships. I had the unexpected pleasure while in Kauai. šš
That must have been beautiful. Cheers
Indeed! š“
Great shot indeed!
Are you going to share with them in the bicycle tour Chris?
Thank you, Soheir. I made some images and video with my phone that I hope to share. Cheers!
You have to get up early to get great shots like this š
That you do! š«
No pain – no gain š
Oh yeah!
two million?! Yikes.
Gorgeous sunset and lovely idea to post it ahead! I have seen the tall sailing ships in Cleveland and Sandusky harbours. They are so impressive, Chris! I have seen two of the Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria. Not sure which I have missed? Take it easy! š
Wow. I’ve not seen Columbus’ vessels. That must have been amazing. Thank you and Cheers!
They probably are replicas since I didn’t add that thought, I apologise. We have one in the Columbus (Scioto River) area and they have tours as well as scheduling scouting groups sleeping on the one there. I’ll check which replica is downtown. Be back in a second! š
Chris, there are photos of the Santa Maria in downtown Columbus. . . But there was a posting of it closing in March, 2016. They may bring it back but I seriously boarded upon this ship. My oldest daughter and her Girl Scout troop slept on this and she said it was fun. It was a nice wooden ship with a fully usable mini- portapot inside, no pollution damage to the river. š
That is pretty cool to sleep on it. Even to visit it. We have a couple historic ships in the Boston area, the Constitution and a Mayflower replica. Both are undergoing repairs. Cheers
Love the colors of the sunrise captured with the city’s skyline. Looks like a painting !
Thank you. I passed this on the way to that mornings photo shoot and stopped to capture it. Cheers!
