Cool photo with the history. Also love the little reflection in the window. I loved the John Adams series :)
Beuatiful images today and yesterday and very interesting narrative.
Why thank you both!
Most of the narrative is stolen ... I didnt get to see the series but I don't believe a lick of it was filmed in Quincy .. there is not enough space left here to even hint at what it may have been like 200 years ago. Everytime I am standing in John Adams backyard ... imagining what Quincy looked like and I know it was beautiful back when I was a kid ... I think ... poor John is rolling in his grave over what has become of his Peace Field!
Thanks for the comments!
