Neighborhood Photography Project

Location

The synonymy between the built, natural, and social worlds is showcased in this photo as part of Maryann Thompson's pavilion design within Arnold Arboretum. Part of Jamaica Plain's neighborhood, this park is a gem within its urban setting and contributes to Boston's Emerald Necklace, the linear park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The balance of the built, natural, and social worlds can be examined within the photo as each element has equal effect on the other.
