Featured: Boston, Then and Now
Congratulations to Flickr participant Roger Archibald for his April, 2012 Location Challenge entry of the Boston skyline from Joe Moakley Park! This photo was taken from approximately the same vantage point as the March, 1973 Documerica photo by Ernst Halberstadt: “Smog over Boston – Looking North from Columbia Point Traffic Circle.”
Compare this current scene to the March, 1973 Documerica photo by Ernst Halberstadt.
Next to one another, you can now see some of the change through time. While some buildings remain, what around them has changed or stayed the same?
What’s the story where you live or travel? Share a photo taken from 2011 through 2013 of our world, our environment as you see it. See how close Documerica came to home, share a photo of that place today.
All of the featured photos from State of the Environment, as well as highlighted images from EPA’s historic Documerica project, can be seen on EPA’s Facebook page.
