Nice perspective Greg, were you in a chopper?

So this is for real, our real history up in real smoke?

You never know what you will see...
I carry a spare camera in the car..just in case.

No I went up in an elevator to an observation deck they have on Atlantic Avenue.

I was happy I knew this place was here.

I might have a pic of the Boston Tea Party from a few weeks ago from this very same spot. Lemmie see what I have at home. (I am at work now)

Your last shot is pretty dramatic. It looks like one of the buildings was under renovation ?

No Actually the Bridge was under construction. They think the torch the worker was using might have sparked the blaze. They were laying down steel for the sidewalks.
The original museum closed in 2001 from a fire that was sparked by lightning.
Not a very lucky spot for a museum. The website said it was planning renovations for 2009 prior to this recent fire.
