Prospect Hill Park: Dust from Development
Six days a week for the past year Prospect Hill Park has been filled with the noise and dust from the development project on the old Polaroid property. Large areas inside the park are thickly covered in this dust. The dust seems to be generated by several large machines devoted to grinding large rocks into gravel and moving this gravel into larger piles. The video was taken on Saturday, 6 April 2013 from inside Prospect Hill Park and focuses on these machines. Prospect Hill Park is just across the access road on the left side of the screen.

Linden St. bridge, waltham ma.
Found & Explored on July 14th 2018
This was not a planned destination which to me was fantastic. An honest discovery while coming from another shoot. Spotted yet another bridge in my travels and HAD to stop & check it out. There are a few wooden bridges off of this metal bridge, or as I recently heard it called “rusty gold” ;-)) love them bridges and I definitely live for this sh**!!! I dug up the history and its below if interested. As always.... happy exploring ????
The Linden Street Bridge is a historic bridge on the abandoned Central Massachusetts Railroad over Linden Street (Massachusetts Route 60) in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is a riveted lattice through truss bridge, built in 1894 by the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and is ONE OF ONLY THREE SUCH BRIDGES LEFT IN THE STATE. The bridge is 98'3 long and 17' wide, with an inside truss height of 21'11.5, and rests on granite abutments. The design of the bridge was based on that of the Northampton crossing of the Connecticut River by the same railroad. The line has been out of service since 1975. It connects with a few old wooden trestle bridges.
