At the Worlds End

Surprisingly enough I had a blipmeet today with Sarahsnaphappy and Vauxden at World’s End. This preservation is located south of Boston and comprises four coastal drumlins formed by glaciers—extending into Hingham Harbor.  John Brewer built a mansion here in 1856 and, over the next 30 years, acquired most of the peninsula’s 400-plus acres. In 1890, Brewer asked famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to design a 163-home residential subdivision. The drives were cut, but the development never came to fruition, nor did later proposals for the United Nations Headquarters in the 1940s or a nuclear power plant in the 1960s. Phew!

Today World's End is owned by The Trustees, the United State’s first preservation and conservation nonprofit.

The weather was perfect and an hour before sunset we ended up at Damde Meadows Tidal Marsh watching the birds as the sun got lower. Still can't find my camera so had to rely on a backup.
