Boston at almost any time of day is picturesque but the Boston Harbor area just before sunset is stunning. The Vast image features all the best of the area, you can see the New England Aquarium off to the left, the historic Union and Lincoln Wharf buildings in the middle and Battery Wharf to the left. The white steeple of the Old North Church once chosen as the beacon for “One if by land, two if by sea” as it was the tallest building at the time, now it can be seen poking up between the modern buildings.

The Custom House Tower seen just behind the Marriott Long Wharf building is one of the most iconic buildings on Commercial St. The Custom House was built in 1849 and the Tower was added in the early 1900’s and dominated the Boston Skyline as the tallest building until the Prudential Tower was completed. Cranes can be seen building new buildings amongst the old and ever changing skyline.

This VAST image was created just during sunset from a park in East Boston. It's amazing what has happened to the area. Not many years ago the area was full of dilapidated factories and empty lots. Now that people have caught on to the fact that it provides maybe the best views of the city the area has been completely reborn. With condos, shops and new parks. It's a truly wonderful place to see the sunset over the city.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
