Last fall, I traveled to the east coast for vacation, sight-seeing, and photography. The other night I was browsing through the images I had taken on the trip and discovered this one. This particular image was taken near the Charlestown Navy Yard (in downtown Boston). I had the opportunity to take many early morning walks before busy crowds emerged. In the morning hours, this part of town is surprisingly tranquil. Each morning a fresh harbor mist covers the beautiful tree-lined streets. As the morning hours give way, the peaceful streets become ever crowded with tourists, sailors, and local shop owners.

Boston is wonderfully scenic and replete with U.S. history. Being there is an incredible experience. The sights and local culture are amazing. You can spend weeks there and never do the same thing twice. If you haven’t visited Boston for yourself, make sure it’s on your bucket list.
