This photograph captures the essence of Long Wharf very authentically. Although the waterfront is concentrated with tourists taking photographs or people observing the waves, the space as a whole is not congested. People are using this space not solely to consume, but also to wait their dog, get to work, or just relax. Unlike at Faneuil Hall, there is a lot of room for comfortable solitude in this park. Long Wharf is also dotted with trees and greenery, providing an alternative to urban life. The bench in the foreground, much like many benches in this park, is not in the shade, and therefore seldom occupied. The picturesque sky and ocean front seen here is indicative of the quiet aesthetic of Long Wharf.
