Description
This was about 6 am on Marathon Monday. Boston shuts down for the day and you can see why. All these people are getting ready to board those school buses for the 26.2 miles ride to the starting line. There were 27,000 people in the race, 9 different waves. The green bags were given out when they picked up their numbers and had the clothes they would put on when they finished. This event is incredibly well organized. You would thing it would be chaotic, but even the crowds of people were polite, happy and completely into cheering these runners on.
Zoom for the real effect!!

What a celebration! Here in L.A. people complain about being inconvenienced for a few hours once a year.

A sterling shot of the well-mannered crowd for that momentous event, Marilyn! Now, if it was held down here around where I live, there would be complete chaos, with shoving, name-calling, fist fights, possibly even a few knifings and shootings.

I'm skipping around a bit in your gallery and I have to say that it's a nice experience to see your "urban jungle" shot just before your "sea of humanity" shot. It's like you're taking us on a grand tour of various natural environments are repeated through a human medium. This is a cool shot because of the colors and the fact that it should look chaotic with all that's going on, but there's a kind of order to it with a really nice pattern. This is really nice and I love the green bags! They stand out so well!

I've never understood the attraction of running. It's just plane hard work to me with no payoff!!!!!! I love cycling, swimming....even walking.........but running is YUCK! I can imagine that if you were better at it than me (which wouldn't be hard!), it would be a real achievement to better your PB.

That is an amazing scene, at the foot of the Boston State House and it's golden dome. Dana
