Several hundred environmentalists gathered at Columbus Waterfront Park Saturday to bring attention to climate change and find alternatives to fossil fuels. Boston's event was one of 700 events in the United States as part of Moving Planet: A Day To Move Beyond Fossil Fuels. As you can see from these pictures, alternative forms of transportation were crucial to the rally. That means trains and boats, among other things. The human wind turbine look is good, too.
Bostonist loves goal-oriented optimists. Especially when they use public transportation.
No, none of Fenway Rookie League Peewees are taller than Dustin Pedroia. But, these kids might actually be able to beat the Red Sox the way things are going lately.
Seals are loving Cape Cod this summer. That explains why sharks love it, too. Bostonist thinks both animals are pretty cool. There were hundreds of seals where these photos were taken in Truro.
Sowa Open Market! Looks good! Sounds good!
We know it rained a lot this morning. But, did it rain that much? Yes, we realize it's Walden Pond.
You'll see big ships at docks quite often. Some stuff is being delivered as part of daily commerce. We liked seeing the bike on the dock next to the yellow posts, too. Also, be careful of baby gulls, as photo two says. Matthew Pierce contributed these pictures to our flickr page.
Hurricane Irene left a mess behind as you already know. Tuesday in Irene means school closings and lingering power outages.
Bostonians can adapt to anything. Is this a sign of the times in our post-earthquake world, as our flickr contributor suggests? We're pleased that the Hub is a helmet-wearing city. Safety first!
Bowling is great fun. These pictures don't challenge that statement. They were taken at Sacco's Bowl Haven in Boston, and one shows bowlers also care about more than strikes. They like community service, ran the Boston Marathon to support Dana Farber, and want to help the people of Kenya. Bowlers like local beer, too.
We love that one of our flickr contributors shared photos from Kenya with us. Chris Tanner captures the journey from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Seeing the Coca-Cola brand in Nairobi is an interesting image.All three shots show a brief glimpse into life in Kenya.
The Scituate Lighthouse on a summer day.
It's always good to see shamrocks, even when they're not green. The shamrock-laden windows are surrounded by what was properly described as a "tinfoil look" by a flckr user. Check out the biggest version to see what's reflected in the window and one image is a street sign for "W. Broadway."
People get around the city in many different kinds of cars and trucks, whether at work, at play, or just out for a drive. Segways, too.
We love seeing people include pets, big or small, in recreation. We just hope the pups have their own life jackets.
When we get weather like we have today, there is no way to avoid thinking about taking advantage of our close proximity to the water. That means boats. We realize all of these pictures aren't of recreational boats. You get the idea, though.
Is it ever too early for Santa? Really?
We're a couple of days away from the next Red Sox game. So here's a picture a May of a game between the Red Sox and Cubs to tide us all over. We won't see the Sox at Fenway Park again until a week from Friday.
We know Bill Belichick didn't take this picture. Doesn't it sound like something he'd say, though?
And some people think the young people don't know geography. Boston is neither New York nor L.A. Perhaps the f-bomb is directed at the Post Office for misdirected mail.
Fireworks lit up the Boston sky last night. Here's a sample of the pictures posted by our flickr contributors. We'll post more later.
Bostonist doesn't know a great deal about sailing not to mention extreme sailing. But, it looks extremely exciting. The Extreme Sailing Series is part of the 30th Boston Harborfest Fourth of July weekend festivities. Read about it here because we can't explain it as good.
They grease up a telephone pole and try to walk across it to grab a flag. That's the 2011 Greasy Pole Contest held annually in Gloucester. We gather this is a big deal in Gloucester. Ali D'Angelo won on Sunday, according to our flickr contributor *Aqualung.
