A walk in the marsh


In my attempt to live a more Thoreauvian lifestyle, I've been going for a walk each day. Yesterday I spent some time at the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation, ambling about and taking some photographs. Belle Isle, which straddles the borders of East Boston, Winthrop and Revere, is a salt marsh, and the water levels rise and fall with the tides. It's also beneath a flight approach for Logan Airport, which is less than a mile away from the marsh. When the wind is blowing from the northeast, aircraft will come in quite low over Belle Isle at the rate of about one per minute.
