The Christian Science complex

        I just thought about one of beautiful church in Boston. I used to introduceTrinity Church before which located in Copley aquare. Today let's go to walk a little bit further beyond Prudential mall it stands behind with a very gorgeous view and truely Christian architectural scenario.
         The Christian Science complex is the first Church of Christ and Scientist in Boston city or you call it as the name Mother Church founded in 1875 by Mary Baker Eddy which is so called the headquarters of the Christian Science faith.It combines of variety of buildings including the main original Mother Church, the large extension and the most impressive plaza named Prudential mall with large reflecting pool designed by I.M.Pei., 

Christian Church
        What to see in this place is out side view with wonderful reflection of huge buildings around this place especiall in the day time in every season. You will be amazed with different scences covered by Mother Church at the back outstandingly.At night the most impressive thing that still caught in my eyes is reflection of light reflecting from surface of the water in the pool.This is one of a great place in Boston to take a photo and visit.You will be definitely impressed by its wonderfully fascinating scenario and urban landscape.

Additionally, if you got inside the Church at the large extention you will notce the most noticeable organ which one of the largest in the world. Built in 1952, 13,290 pipes and must be kept at a constant temperature to maintain its tuning. Organ concerts are regularly held here.In this Mother Church Extension,its a domed Byzantine style. Its theater-style seating could serve more than 3,000 people.

Boston : Bungker Hill Monument

       So sorry for disapprear for a while but have to much work to do these day. Okay let's travel around Boston city as usual. Today I would like to take you to the Bunker hill and Bunker hill monument, the legendary place of early battle between British and new England people. The Bunker Hill Monument stands 221 feet tall at Breed's Hill, the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution fought on June 17, 1775. Whic they control the high ground facing to water connected to Boston city. When colonial forces chose to fortify Charlestown, they move towared closer by undergound path on Breed's Hill which was lower and closer to the water.


Community College Station

       This place is really worht it to take a walk by taking T subway and stop by Community College Station. When you step out of the station, it's Charlestown that consists of hostorical story and sense of battle field in the past.There are many houses on that hill and Bunker Hill Monument stands remakably out to the eyes.You must walk a little bit far from subway station but you will see the peaceful surrounding despite of cruel history.

Lechmere : Great shopping mall in Boston

        Lechmere is the name of T subway green line station and it's a place that very great shopping mall located. This is my favorite department store in Boston because of various merchandises and flexible pricing especially when I really wanted to buy something not like in Prudential mall or at other department stores which mostly sell stuff at high price.I bought camera that show the photo in this blog from this mall as well. Okay , when you think of a place for shopping, I mean with reasonable price and many choices of products, I recommend Lechmere is no.1 shopping mall in Boston. You can reach here easily by taking T subway and get off at Lechmere station, last stop for green line. The building structured  in three floors shopping center and food court at the front of department store so this could be one stop for your lunch during Boston touring day.

Lechmere shopping mall
        I love this mall most because all merchandises here are affordable. If you are teenager, this is a nice place for your money spending.There are many brand cloth stores inside with seasonal discount, I strongly believe that you will get something if you go there.
