A skyscraper trio


Remember the photo I took last week? This shot is from the opposite side of the fountain and basin. From there, we have a great view on three Boston towers. On the left, the Prudential tower, in the center, the high rise tower “111 Huntington Avenue” recently built in 2002, and on the right, the Scientist Church administration building.

Vous souvenez vous de la photo de la semaine dernière? Celle-ci a été prise à l’opposé de la fontaine et du bassin. Depuis cet endroit, nous avons une vue sur trois tours bostoniennes. A gauche, la tour Prudential, au centre le récent gratte-ciel «111 Huntington Avenue” construit en 2002, et à droite le bâtiment administratif de l’Eglise Scientiste.

I had no idea that the church administration building would be so big!!! I guess the higher the building the closer to God?

>Thanks Lisa. This plazza is a very nice open space.
> Hi Michael,...yep, the higher to raise and exalt the soul!

Nice photo!!
Do you mean the scientologists?

Alex said...

>Hello Sam,
No,the church of Scientist has no connection with the controversial church of Scientology, established by the late L.Ron Hubbard (convicted of fraud in France in 1978) and critized for its pseudo-scientific practices.

Great pictures on this site. Boston is one of my favorite cities so I will check back with interest. We added you as a link.

Very impressive

Great question Sam...I just presumed that the Scientist Church was the Scientologists as well. I was particularly interested in the facts you posted about L.Ron Hubbard and France Alex. I could never figure out why the French were not just opposed to the church, but very much against anything to do with them. You learn something every day!
