Silver line of MBTA

By M7 + ZM35 + Extra400

I went to the ICA and visited my friends by the Silver Line. A few weeks ago, it was my first time to take the Silver Line. After I arrived at South Station by the Red Line, I followed the signs to the platform of the Silver Line. However, when I arrived at the platform, I only saw the buses.

Two buses left while I debated whether it was the Silver Line platform or not. I asked a person who was waiting there. In fact, it IS the Silver Line. The Silver line is not a tram like the green line or an underground railway. The Silver Line is a unique type of transportation. A part of the bus route is an underground tunnel; and the other part is on the road. I think the Silver line is a creative transportation system. The cost might be lower and the construction time is shorter. Maybe it's a good idea for Taipei or Hsinchu to build a new transportation line like this.

ICA - The Institute of Contemporary Art

By M7 + ZM35/2 + Extra 400
ICA is on the waterfront; my landload strongly recommends to visit it.

There is a magnificent glass window on the 3rd floor. I spent a lot of time here enjoying the port view.
By M7 + ZM35/2 + Extra 400

I love the walk along the glass wall, where I just had to spend a few hour sitting on the bench admiring the beautiful harbor view. Many other visitors did that, too.

It was a calm day with a few cloud. I feel deeply touched by the blue sky and the icy blue seawater.

Sailboats bob up and down gently.

Even if one doesn't like the exhibitions, the view makes the cost of admission worthwhile.

Books and my camera, while I was sitting on the bench and enjoying the scenery. What a wonderful afternoon!

走了三分之二的 South Boston

South boston 的行程是 DK 書上推薦的一條小路。

冬天時，寧靜的 Carson beach。

離開海邊，爬上小坡，來到曾是獨立戰爭中重要據點的 Dorchester Heights。

Good Will Hunting 心靈捕手的場景之一。

By R-D1s
Marine Park 似乎是位於 Logan 機場的航道下，只用 ZM35 + R-D1s 就可以拍到飛機。

到了 Marine park，其實往下沿著 Pleasure Bay 走還有幾個景點。不過因為天氣相當冷，這一趟有三分之一沒走完，不過把 503CW 帶出門曬曬太陽的目的算是有達到了。

TOSCANINI'S ICE CREAM

By 503CW + P80/2.8 + E100VS
以前只要是冬天，大概就不會想吃冰。不過來到 Boston 以後，這習慣倒是隨著老美而改變了。因為店裡面通常都有暖氣，似乎也不太介意像去咖啡廳一樣久坐。Boston 好吃的 ice cream shop 還不少，其中最出名的應該就屬 Toscanini's 了。

By R-D1s
就算天氣還算冷，地上積雪沒化，還是要來試看看 NY Times 說的 The Best Ice Cream in the world 到底是怎樣個好吃法？！

超級香濃的原味巧克力口味
By GR-D
在這裡要點之前幾乎都可以試吃，向店員問一下巧克力以後，店員就挖了兩種來試吃，最後選了原味巧克力的口味。巧克力的味道相當濃，牛奶的香味也很重，吃起來比 H 牌及 M 牌好吃上很多。只是，美國人的口味免不了太甜，第一球很好吃，吃到第二球就有點膩了。有機會來的話，點一球淺嘗就好，反正這間店就在 Massachusetts Ave. 上，交通很方便。（過沒三天又跑去吃了另一種口味了～～）

在 Boston 第一捲沖掃都滿意的 120 [ Kodak E100VS ]

話說之前找到 Mass. Ave. 的沖洗店以後，由於 135 正負都沖掃的還不錯（除了 Extra 400 平均來說粒子粗了點）。於是就放心了拍了兩捲 120 的 E100VS 拿去沖掃。雖然費用是相當不便宜，不過倒是又快又好。（過兩天就可以取件）

先貼幾張在 JFK Museum and Library 照的。
