Much of Boston's charm can be attributed to it's location, on the banks of the Charles River basin. Views of Boston from across the river in Cambridge show the  influence the river has on the city's life. I like to photograph Boston with the Charles River basin as a foreground. The light in late afternoons in July is great.....judge for  yourself. Click the regatta photo and go to the gallery: "Boston and Charles River".
