Matt Conti had the best seat for the foggy First Night fireworks over Boston Harbor at midnight.

Happy New Year #Boston!

This was one of the most challenging #NYE firework shoots. I’d say for 98% of the show the fireworks were obscured by low clouds. The barge was also drifting towards Seaport, oh well!

Hope everyone has a happy & safe year! #FirstNightBoston #NYE2022 pic.twitter.com/sslJtrwEzG

Maria M. took in the ice crab reading a book outside the Copley Square library.

Was this shot taken from a drone?

If not, where?

Harbor view roof deck?

Some of the office buildings in the area and most of the newer residential towers have roof decks that face toward the harbor.

looks about right. The exposure looks kind of long for a drone.

Great goddam photo

The first one, I mean, though some of the others are great, too.

This is an excellent illustration of the Blade Runner Principle: no matter how cool the future looks, when you get there, it's not the future any more.
