Boston in the rain - First Church of Christ Scientist Boston


When it rains...out come the reflections! Even though it was a bit freezing for this Florida boy, it was still a great evening to explore the details, color, and lighting. While in Boston a couple of weeks ago, a slight drizzle created this beautiful scene just across the street from the hotel at reflection pool just outside of what is called the Mother Church. For a few details, see below. And yes, the glare is annoying up at the top right side, but its a bit late. Hope you like!

From Wikipedia:
The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts in the United States is The Mother Church and administrative headquarters of the Christian Science Church and is located in the Christian Science Center in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.
Designed in the 1960s by the firm of renowned architect I.M. Pei, the 14-acre Christian Science Plaza along Huntington Avenue includes a reflecting pool and fountain that make it one of Boston's most visually recognizable sites and a popular tourist attraction.

Mike,

I remember seeing this while we were there, but it didn't look this good! You're teaching us to go out in the rain and play. Thanks.
