This is a sketch of the hatch shell. This is a performance space that is not really used when performances are not taking place. Runners run around the paths that go through the hatch area. To the left is the man-made island that rests on the Charles river. In the back ground one can see the church peak and the outline of the bridge. This is a vegetated area where people can block out the noise and busyness of the city and relax.
