USA Rowes Wharf, Boston
This is a photo of the Rowes Wharf building in Boston, Massachusetts. Rowes Wharf sits on the waterfront of Boston Main Channel. The front and rear of the building are open allowing the sea breeze to freely flow through.
On this particular visit, I was lucky that an American flag was hung which made for a stunning shot at night with the breeze. Sometimes there are advertisement banners or nothing at all hanging.

Photography Tips
This photo was taken with a Nikon D7200 with the following details/settings:
Lens: Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/20 sec.
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 1250
Focal Length: 8mm on a Nikon crop sensor (so about 12mm full frame)
To photograph the dome you need a very wide lens. Additionally, I was sitting/squatting nearly to the point of laying on my back. I shot this hand-held. At night you'll need to crank up the ISO so the shutter speed isn't too low (if you want to stop the motion).
