The tower of St.Botolphs Church, known as the 'Boston Stump', has been a landmark for mariners for centuries. 'Boston' is a corruption of 'Botolph's Town'.

Very nice John. The sun always seems to shine in Boston!!
Beautiful shot, John. Thanks for the history too. What a landmark!
Beautiful view
I'm positive the folks who reside in their beloved Boston, Massachusetts would be somewhat upset about being a corruption of "Botolph's Town." Oh well.
