Quincy Quarries
Quincy Quarries Reservation is a former granite quarry area that is now owned by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation as a public park. It is quite picturesque and has been the site of several movie location shoots. It is also used by climbers who wish to practice or teach novices. See the full Wikipedia listing. Halliday and I visited on Sunday, August 20, 2017.
What you see when arriving at the quarries: lots and lots of graffiti.
Looking down across a very colorful rock ledge at Halliday.
The quarries provide a view of the Boston skyline, albeit some distance away.
Some climbers who had set up a base camp were practicing that day.
We watched a student practice rappelling down a flat face.
Adobe® Photoshop® solarization, not the kind in the darkroom.
Here we are at the edge of a cliff taking a selfie. Yes, we were still playing it safe.
Two hawks spent time circling the quarries. Here is one of them.
Just before it got dark and we left, I took a portrait of Halliday.
