Shot from high above, a gold-domed octagonal cupola clad in white stone crowns a building among the tar-and-gravel rooftops and back gardens of Back Bay. Brownstones and green trees fill the surrounding blocks.
Research
Almost certainly photographed from a Back Bay high-rise (e.g., the Prudential Skywalk); the specific gilded cupola has not been identified.
Open question
Which building carries the gilded dome?
