Dawn and sunrise this morning, Nov 1st, from Buck Hill!

The last sunrise during daylight savings time. Gotta start getting up earlier again to get out for these starting tomorrow.

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 been visible.

The large building below is the Brook House Condominiums (8.23 mi), 77 Pond St, Brookline MA. To the left of that is the steeple of St. Paul's Episcopal Church (8.74 mi), 15 St Paul St, Brookline MA. And near the bottom of the frame, just left of center, is the top of a house with a conical tower (7.15 mi), 103 Robinwood Ave, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

Dawn and sunrise this morning, Oct 27th, from Buck Hill!

Another morning with a big line of ocean clouds blocking the horizon on a morning that was otherwise quite clear.

Mobil Gas Station, 1245 N Main St, Randolph MA photographed from Buck Hill.

This Mobil gas station in Randolph is very nearby, at only 1.4 miles, but even at that distance, the perspective starts to play some tricks with one's eyes. I love this photo because the house at 1251 N Main St, the next building north of the gas station on that side of the street, appears to have moved directly between the gas pumps and the store.

To the right of the gas station is Randolph Automotive Servicenter and beyond that is Rock City Pizza, which was formerly a Dunkin Donuts.

Brockton City Hall (9.58 mi), 45 School St, Brockton MA and Avon Baptist Church (5.9 mi), 119 N Main St, Avon MA photographed from Buck Hill.

The rectangular structure to the left of the Brockton City Hall spire is actually part of a different building, Douglas House, 20 Haverhill St, Brockton MA. To the left of that, the very top of the spire of Keys of the Kingdom, 33 Main St, Brockton MA. And to the left of city hall, on the horizon, is what appears to be a very rectangular manmade structure which I believe is the top of one of the now abandoned buildings beloning to the former Lakeville State Hospital (24.5 mi), 43 Main St, Lakeville MA. I have read accounts from urban explorers that venture to the roof of this tallest building (it is seven stories) and mention that the Boston skyline can be seen, so it makes sense that this building would be visible from the Blue Hills also.

Norwood High School, 245 Nichols St, Norwood MA photographed from Buck Hill.

In the upper left is a water tower, 43 Wagon Rd, Walpole MA. The houses near the bottom are mostly on Day St. The brick building with the big rectangular A/C unit on top is Mizuya Asian Cuisine, 663 Washington St.

Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Complex, Deer Island MA photographed from Buck Hill.

I previously posted a shot of the 'Deer Island Eggs', but this is a wider shot showing the entire Deer Island Complex catching a sunbeam on an otherwise overcast day. Deer Island is the second largest sewage treatment plant in the United States. The plant is a key part of the program to protect Boston Harbor from pollution from sewer systems in eastern Massachusetts
