Down to the waterfront for a Duck Tour

Not at all pretty from the front

Propulsion and steering

Yes, Virginia, it's a bus...

Our driver and guide gives us the spiel

Moving out past other buses

Classic Boston iron fence and gaslight

Taking in the sun on Boston Common

Professor or architect?

Going round Boston Common

Boston rowhouse details

Side view of Boston Trinity Church. We will see it several times on this tour

Classic bell tower

That's us in the glass

Around to the front of Trinity Church

Market stands doing good business on Boston Common

Fall produce, Halloween is coming.

We get yet another view of Trinity Church. I try lens flare to make it more exciting

Some of the famous (?) swans of Boston Common

There's another duck ahead. We tried to pass it without success

Purple discoloration from excessive manganese oxide in the glass in the early 1800s

Old style and new style domes. Massachusetts State House dome vs microwave repeater antennae.

Classic view of the Massachusetts State House

No wonder driving is such a chore in Boston!

How many bridges are in this photo?

We convert from terrestrial to aquatic mode

Checking to make sure there aren't other ducks coming back in.

Splash!

Leaving the channel for duck ingress/egress

We are glad the duck floats

Looking towards the south bank of the Charles River

The life jackets take on greater importance

Passing under the bridges we just drove over on.

Crumbling dock, modern cable-stayed bridge

Another duck approaches

More duck detail

Boston Science Museum

A cormorant checking us out

A Cormorant makes sure we keep our distance

Red ripples around the seagull

Seagull takes off from the Charles River

Sailing down the Charles River

Old reflected in the new

The Citgo sign means we are getting close to Fenway Park

Enjoying the fall afternoon along the south bank of the Charles River

I would probably be using my phone as well if I was sitting on a bench by the river!

Returning past the ruined pier towards the ingress/egress point.

Our guide following the other Duck to the ramp

Ramp ahead!

Rear view mirror, looking back across the Charles River
