Red Boat, Boston, 2018

I found this partially sunken boat under a pier near the Valkyrie ferry terminal on Boston’s waterfront. I was taking a photographic walking tour of Boston while ostensibly in town for the American Chemical Society meeting in August of 2018. I am a big fan of Boston. I lived there for thirteen years. I love to visit, but I do not like the cold weather.

The contrast of the red boat and the green water caught my eye. The afternoon sun was slanting in making the brightest parts glow. I also liked the bits of blue peeking out from beneath the peeling red paint.
