Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market

Well the thoughts about this photo... There really isn't a moving story to it but history. This building has been around for so long and seen so much change. It has been a meeting hall and market place since 1742 Who could not love the grasshopper weather vane which you really can't see here. Did you know the weather vane was at one time used to determine if you were a spy or not??? If you were a suspected spy you would be asked to identify the object atop Faneuil Hall. If you correctly answered you were set free, if you did not you were convicted as a British Spy.... Also who doesn't love Sam Adams!!! I was walking up the stairs next to City Hall when I looked back and loved all the colors. The brick popped, the sky was blue, there was a shadow being cast on the side of the building, plus the trees and the flowers. So much history in one picture!
