The grave of Mother Goose lies in the Granary Burial Ground Cemetery in the middle of downtown Boston. There are claims that this grave is not the actual Mother Goose and that Mother Goose stories appeared well before the life of Mary Goose, but in Boston, it is widely accepted that this is the actual Mother Goose. According to her headstone, Mother Goose (whose real first name is Mary) died in 1690, about thirty years after the cemetery first opened. Other notable historical figures in this cemetery include John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Crispus Attucks and many others who were prominent figures in the history of Boston.

A beautiful day in Boston depicted in this photo of downtown Boston buildings featuring the Old North Church near Boston Common. While most of Boston can be referred to as historic, this particular area is of historic significance as Boston Common is on of the oldest areas in the city and was once a large pasture, home to cows, sheep and other farm animals. Today, it is a vibrant city park located in the heart of downtown Boston.

The Old North Church (pictured at left) was built in the early 1700s and is best known as the church that Paul Revere looked towards before his midnight ride. Revere was looking for a symbol that the British were coming; the symbol being either one lantern or two, hence the famous quote “One if by land, two if by sea,” referring to this particular story about Paul Revere and his midnight ride.

This photo looks like it’s straight from Gotham City, but it’s not…this is the Omni Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston. As I was on my east coast road trip in May 2011, I stayed one night here and took this photo after returning from the original Cheer’s bar and location just under a mile away.

The Omni Parker House in Boston was one of the best hotels that I have stayed in while on my road trip. The rooms were roomy, the building’s lobby area has beautiful dark wood panel walls, and it was the most comfortable bed that I slept in during my ten days on the road. The location is perfect if you plan to stay in the immediate downtown Boston area or near Boston Commons and there is plenty to do within walking distance.

This historic spiral staircase is located in the historic Old State House in the center of downtown Boston, MA. This building is historic for many reasons and is most notable as being depicted in the background of the Paul Revere photo of the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre also occurred near the building, which resides an at odd intersection in the city. The Old State House was built in 1713 and was most recently restored in the late 2000s after water damage from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 caused water damage in the building. This historic landmark is one of the most popular stops along the Freedom Trail and today is open to the public as a museum.

This photo was taken in May 2011 while visiting Boston. I also had the opportunity to take some beautiful photos of downtown Boston on the Charles River in Cambridge.

Boston is such a beautiful city from nearly every angle. It’s position on the ocean and on the Charles River makes it one of the best skylines to photograph. This photo was taken in May 2011 while driving on an east coast road trip with my girlfriend Rose. As soon as we saw ourselves driving along this stretch of river, we knew that I needed to jump out to get this shot. The water was very calm and the colors were beautiful. This is NOT an HDR photo, although some of the the colors are enhanced in Photoshop just a bit.

As Rose and I arrived in Boston while on our East Coast road trip in May 2011, we found ourselves driving around in somewhat of a circle, going over one bridge then over another. Eventually, we were driving along a parkway and as soon as I found a parking spot, I pulled in and got out to get this shot. It was a beautiful night and the waters were very calm. I took several different angles of the Boston skyline as I was taking my shots; some of them closer in, but most of them using the boats in the foreground in different ways. I liked the balance of this photo most of all. If you like this photo, check out my photo of the Boston Skyline in the Charles River with more boats in the foreground.
