Happy Independence Day. 'America the Beautiful' is such a wonderful anthem. The first verse features the iconic amber waves of grain and the purple mountain's majesty, but this third verse always meant more to me. Always liked the image of the 'alabaster cities,' here seen as Boston, it's skyline whitened for the occasion and backed by a wonderful full moon.
Both the first verse and this one, of course, also feature the prayer that we might someday 'crown our good with brotherhood' someday. A goal to work for!

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
