Unique view..

[Rob Amaral]

This view kind of startled me when I went out on the roof of a condo building across the street. This is the Christian Science 'Mother Church' complex in Boston.. You don't really appreciate that structure on the corner from grade.. that mausoleum top section is odd..

Great photo. I love the composition.

I'm fascinated by the block of 19th century row homes on the left. Each one has a modern skylight located in the same location. The whole row has to have a common owner. Also, I'm curious as to what the street level view is. That's a pretty narrow street, but I guess that's typical of Boston.

I wonder how long it's been since someone has 'gone to' Mavin & Kelly?

Yeah, going on roofs is the best part of the job. I love the inner city roofscape.

I bet those skylites are all over the stairwell 2nd fl. landing; they were all changed out after the original iron and wire glass jobs went to blazes.
