Dawn and this morning, Nov 30th, from Buck Hill! A slight burst of color before the clouds would cover the horizon, blocking the view of the sunrise and ushering in a very gray day.

I had hoped to catch a sunset last night, but it was very overcast. However, I had some time to kill so I did a couple of errands and then made a nighttime hike up Buck Hill. I spent some time up at the top just enjoying the night view which I don't often get to see […]

Dawn and sunrise this morning, Nov 14th, from Buck Hill!

There is something about that first or last light of the day. It's worth turning around to look at the land behind you and watch as the hills cast shadows onto each other.

The newly completed South Station Tower, 711 Atlantic Avenue, Boston MA, photographed from Buck Hill. This tower was already under construction when I started to bring my camera up on the hill, so I went through and found the earliest photo I could find. The recent […]

Sunset and dusk yesterday afternoon, Nov 4th, from Buck Hill!

The change to standard time means early sunsets, and makes it a little bit easier for me to get up the hill to see them. Last night was one of absolute beauty. I did not see a single person the entire trek […]

Harvard Science and Engineering Complex Library (10.57 mi), 146 Western Ave, Boston MA photographed from Buck Hill. Harvard Stadium sits directly behind this building, and I have to wonder if in the days prior to the library's construction whether the stadium would have […]

Dawn and sunrise this morning, Oct 18th, from Buck Hill!

Most of my sunrise outings are an exercise in solitude. Occasionally, my wife joins me and once a while I share the perch with one or two others. But this morning as I reached the top, I was surprised to see a […]

The First Congregational Church, 100 Winter St and First Baptist Church, 71 Bond St, both in Norwood MA photographed from Buck Hill. And you may ask yourself, why do I only see one church in this photo? In one of those weird coincidences, the steeples of the two […]
