Part of a series of shots I took around the Christian Science Plaza on Huntington Avenue in Boston. I liked this one the best.
There is a most interesting "Mapparium"room inside the adjacent library building, well worth a look.

This was my favourite from a short series of similar shots taken from the same elevated vantage point in Boston around dusk / twilight as the light changed.

The inspirational memorial to the US Marine Corps with particular remembrance to the battle for Iwo Jima in WW2. The memorial is located at Arlington Cemetery.

A short distance away from the Vietnam Memorial wall designed by Maya Lin, is another Vietnam memorial, a bronze statue named The Three Soldiers (sometimes called The Three Servicemen). Negative reactions to Maya Lin's original design created a controversy. A compromise was reached by commissioning Frederick Hart (who had placed third in the original design competition) to produce a bronze figurative sculpture in the heroic tradition in order to complement the memorial wall. The statues were unveiled in 1984 and depict three soldiers, purposefully identifiable as White American, African American, and Hispanic American. The statues and the Wall appear to interact with each other, with the soldiers looking on in solemn tribute at the names of their fallen comrades.

Located outside the main entrance to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is the famous "Appeal to the Great Spirit" - a bronze equestrian sculpture by Cyrus Edwin Dallin.
