I Pahked the Cah in Hahvahd Yahd…
A few shots from my trip to Boston last month. What a beautiful city! I loved it. Those of you who know me know that I’m awfully skeptical of that strange land east of Denver, as well as that other coast over there that sometimes comes up in conversation. But Boston blew me away for its fantastic food (my key factor), friendly people, and ample picturesque scenes for any photographer. (As an aside, if you’re looking for good Indian food while you’re in that area, see my post of 11/9/07 on Hartog’s Den.)
These all with the Elan 7ne on Kodak Gold 200 and Kodak BW400CN.
Beautiful fall colors… hooray for lovely New England! This one in is actually on Harvard campus in Cambridge.
A churchyard in Boston at night.
The T is Boston’s very clean and convenient public transit. Definitely worth not dealing with that traffic and those parking rates!
Walking through the Italian district in the North End is one of the best experiences your nose (and tastebuds) will have. The food here is *so* good… I don’t even know where to start in describing it. I had better Italian food here than I did when I was in Italy (granted I was on a student budget when I was in Italy, but still).
Try the fettuccine napolitano at Cibo… heavenly. They had a fantastic pinot noir that went perfectly with it too. I don’t remember the name, but it was the only pinot noir on their menu, so it should be easy to find.
Don’t gorge on dinner too much… the canoli and dessert at this and other pastry shops is to die for. Mmmmm canoli… *so* not on my doctor-ordered low-cholesterol diet, but… whatever.
A cool graveyard in Cambridge. Em and I took a nice quiet walk through here one evening and I found it very picturesque.
A different graveyard in Boston, taken in black-and-white… I love how the light came out in this one. A little erie and a little beautiful. Note the “Franklin” tomb isn’t Ben, who was of course from Philly; this grave is his parents. (Thanks to Emily for the historical note).
