Boston Landscapes on a Winter's Day—Frog Pond

I was drawn by the lights hung for the holidays and the grace of the skaters. The Boston Common Frog Pond is in the oldest and one of the most historic parks nationwide. It was built in 1848 and is the last remaining pond of three original ones. This skating site is one of the jewels of Boston.
