I’m always looking for new vantage points from which to shoot well-known areas. Across the street from Faneuil Hall is City Hall with a little overlook. I noticed the ledge around the overlook was about four feet high and almost 18 inches wide. “I can do that”, I thought. I carefully maneuvered my gear and self atop the ledge to make this image ever mindful of the thirty-foot drop on the other side. It made for a unique perspective of an old friend.
and the light is beautiful…
Far be it from me to recommend you risk injury but I am SO glad you took that shot …. it is a wonderful new perspective on a familiar and beautiful building 🙂
Oh, Chris….I thought the same as Osyth (above). ‘Chris is doing what??!’ Such a beautiful shot, though.
Beautiful shot, Sir! I enjoy the history of Faneuil Hall, and all the small shops that are in it. I thought I read, recently, that they are going to closing it (or part of it) down for repairs, soon? Thank you for sharing!
A beautiful shot! I would be too chicken to attempt it.
Thank you. I realized it was not my wisest move. Cheers
Beautiful portrait!
Perspective is so much
Thank you so much. It’s a beautiful building. They just closed it for renovations but it will reopen in spring.
oh nice – dear sniper/photo man! ha
how fun to see from this ledge (sniper perch I mean)
ha
and in the photo – the first thing that my eye noticed was how the people (lower left) had that syncing with the posts (lower right) and then the windows and various lights –
such a stately place from any angle
Great and creative shot ..u r professional Chris !!
Thank you so much Sohair. I’m pleased that you like it. Cheers
I like the unique view of this one – it’s new again for you 🙂 Happy 2018, Chris!
Very Well Done! However, just what is/was that Historic building?
It was a public market and meeting hall in early Boston. I think it’s Hall was used in discussions and debates that led to the revolution.
Thanks for your reply. I looked it up on the Internet. Found out just what it was. Another reason to go see Boston!
Great shot but we want you around so cuidado!!!!!
Thanks Teri. I need to remember I’m not 25 anymore. Cheers
Wow!
Thank you, Lindy. Cheers
Lovely. You are brave 🙂
Brave, foolish. Perhaps they are different sides of the same coin. Thank you. Cheers!
crazy photographer 😀 it was worth it of course :))) but be careful!!
Thank you, Alex. I’m thinking I want to print a map of parking garages in downtown. They are accessible and would give me a different vantage point. Something new to try with no dangerous climbing. Cheers!
Faneuil Hall marketplace is crazy crowded in the summer. Great place to people watch, spend money and eat good food.
It is crazy busy in summer. It’s great for people watching. Cheers
Really awesome shot, Chris! But please be careful – this sounds so dangerous especially with the weather and all. Cheers! 😊
It was beautiful that evening. I would not try it with the icy weather we’ve had lately. Cheers!
