Deer Island Walk & Photos
Published by Elana May 28th, 2005 in Photos, Random Ramblings.It was the first sunny Saturday in over three weeks, so I got into the car and drove down to Deer Island (which is about a mile from my house). Deer Island is part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Park. I walked the three mile loop around the island, taking photos as I went.
The island consists of an odd mixture of man and nature, sharing the walking and bike paths overlooking Boston Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean with a MWRA Wastewater Treatment Facility. In the past it has been host to a prison, a hospital, and a social services center. Quite the varied history!
It was a beautiful day, so I took plenty of pictures. Here’s a sampling:
More (and larger versions of these) can be found in the photo gallery.
Dreamhost is, in fact, offering the most current version of WP.
Btw, love the photo of the rocks and the water.
I haven’t been to a beach since August ‘04. This is very wrong.
Pretty! That’s really nice that you’ve got such a park so close to you. Walking out in the nice beautiful days are so relaxing and refreshing.
