~Here are some pictures I took recently in
Fall River, Massachusetts:

A large commemorative bell in Kennedy Park.

| Cooling towers for Brayton Point Power Station, which supplies electricity to 1.5 million homes in the area. I thought this was part of a nuclear power plant, but Brayton Point is actually fueled by coal, gas, and oil (it goes through over 13,000 tons of coal every day). These cooling towers were built so that hot water from the turbines no longer needs to be released into the nearby bay, which had been killing off the fish. Brayton Point is scheduled to close in 2017. |

| St. Anne's Church and Parish Complex. This huge church and its connected buildings are across the street from Kennedy Park. It's made of blue marble from Vermont, was completed in 1906, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. |

| The front entrance of St. Anne's Church. |
 |
| An interesting face sculpture in a garden outside St. Anne's Hospital. |
