Now that we are nearly at Thanksgiving, it seems like a good time to highlight the "Sights & Sounds of the City" (The first of a ten part series.) With that fitting title, let us begin the journey ~
Skywalk
Can you think of a better place to start than 52 floors above the city. It is a must-see and a great space with 360 degree views of the city. Whether it is summer (as seen above) or winter (as seen below) the views are breathtaking. If you are visiting for the first time, I recommend taking the small walkie talkie device with you which will provide you with a guided tour of what you are seeing through the glass. Soak in the sights because there is no shortage of beauty from any vantage point here.
Swan Boats
A must see in the Public Garden is the Swan Boats. A scenic tour while also a peaceful boat ride and a chance to see both Romeo and Juliet (the swans that is!) The photo below is from when Swan Lake performed on the Swan Boats as an added sight to see!
Liquid Art House
If you haven't visited this restaurant and art house it is a place to see both for its art of the visual kind and of the edible kind. The outer facade contains large windows and is easy to walk by but be sure to turn back around and walk inside since the Liquid Art House is truly a hidden gem. I took the photo below from inside the Liquid Art House but....I will not say where ~
A Highly Unusual Sight to See
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take this portrait. The rabbit happened to be eating when I spotted him or her but stopped and looked DIRECTLY at the camera for his or her close-up. This rabbit just happened to be minutes from Kenmore Square, stopped along Commonwealth avenue to sample some vegetation.
HONK
If you missed it this year be sure to take the time to see HONK - there is seriously something for everyone at Honk.
Stay tuned to The Red Balloon for a Blog and Fly post in which I review Flywheel.
