I and my wife went to Blue Hill Reservation on Sunday afternoon. I believe that the Eliot Tower on the top of mountain must be the best place where we can see a whole picture of Boston downtown and Boston harbor at the same time for free!!
It took just about 45 minutes from our apartment in Cambridge by car. We enjoyed just 30 minutes hiking of the path with some rock steepness from one of the parkings of the reservation to the Eliot Tower

Before the concert started, we met my wife's friends in the lawn area of Tanglewood, and shared and enjoyed the foods brought by each family or individual. I was really happy to legally drink a lot of beer and wine on the outdoor place. Although it was a concert, I think that it was a part of Tanglewood style that people should enjoy.
Anyway, before the concert began, we moved to our own seat in open-auditorium. But, just when I sit down in it, I noticed that I forgot to take my camera from my bag that I left on the mat where our friends stayed in. So, just before the concert began, I came back to the place to pick it up. When I tried to come back to my seat, the staff came to me and prohibited me to enter the auditorium until the first program ended. I thought that that's ok with me because it's my fault.
So, I decided to wait for the timing when I can re-enter just in front of the entrance of auditorium where I can see everything in it. But, when I took the video in that place, the staff came to me again, and said, 'no recording.' I'm soory that I was a terrible bad manner person!! You can listen to this caution in the below video:
So, I decided to move to the place far away from it because I took a video again:-). You might be able to understand calm and beautiful atmosphere with darkish sky from the video below:
After the first waves of applause, I and other guys were allowed to enter again. Of course, I secretly took a video again from my seat because that's the purpose of going back to pick the camera. The below is that video:
The concert was really wonderful and it was my first time to see a Tanglewood and Seiji Ozawa. The video below was taken just after the concert. You might be able to recognize Ozawa:
In conclusion toward myself, don't intend to take a video of the concert, just enjoy the consert itself!!
