Alone With His Thoughts

Chillin' at the Park

Enjoying an afternoon at the Charles River Esplanade. 

Reach For the Sun

This photo was interesting to me. It looks like the tree is reaching for something on the other side of the pond. I didn't notice it when I took the picture, but the tree is actually pointing directly towards the sun. I guess it must like the sunlight.

I took this particular photo on the Charles River Esplanade. The Prudential building is in the background. 

Spring Love

Spring is the time of year for new beginnings and fresh starts. In this particular image, it looks like a new couple is going for a stroll along the Charles River Esplanade. The cherry blossoms shade their path. 

Cherry Blossoms on the Esplanade

You know it's spring time in Boston when you see two things: cherry blossoms and sailboats on the Charles River. In this particular photo, I tried to capture both (although, the sailboats aren't the main subject).

Flowers on the Charles

At the start of each spring season, flowers are planted along the Chalres River in Cambridge, MA (next to Harvard University).  It's a nice little touch to the landscaping efforts... now if only they could build a beach. John W Weeks Bridge is in the background.

A Runner's Path

A few flowering trees cover the runner's path along the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. 

Spring on the Charles

A relaxing spring afternoon along the Charles River in Cambridge, MA... a lone rower making his way down river. 

Spring Water Colors

On the Charles River Esplanade looking toward the Back Bay and Prudential Center. The original image I took blurred a bit because it was windy... so I did some manipulations in photoshop to try and make it look like a painting. I think it came out pretty nice. 

Puddle of Leaves

As I was walking along the Charles River, I noticed a puddle of leaves under one of the trees. I loved all of the colors mixed together and the light shining down upon it. Thought it looked pretty cool.

Reflections and Water

Was trying to play with the shadows and create a "moody" feel for this picture. I like how it came out. This particular picture was taken back in November towards the end of the fall season. The John W Weeks Footbridge is in the background (construction had just started).

Charles River Sunset

The sun was setting behind me in this picture... and it created a gradient effect on the skyline above the Charles River. The Zakim bridge is in the background.

Red Leaf

Sunset along the Charles illuminating one of the few red leaves left on the tree.

Late Autumn Sunset

We had a lovely Sunday in Boston... temperature was above 60 degrees. However, even with the warmth, you're reminded that winter is rapidly approaching. All the trees are now barren and the sun goes down earlier and earlier each day. These are a couple images I took right before the sun vanished.

A Late Fall Afternoon on the Charles

On the almost fully repaired Boston University bridge looking out over the Charles River towards Boston's skyline. It's quite a beautiful view. This shot was taken on a late afternoon in the fall with the sun behind me. You can notice many trees along the river have already changed color. The sailboats were out in full effect this day.

A Floating Tree

This photo was taken along the Charles River bike path near Harvard. I loved how this tree was floating in a pond of multi-colored leaves... overall, the colors came out really nice and the red leaves added made it more vibrant.

Sunset Silhouette Over the Charles

I was riding my bike along the Charles River and saw an incredible sunset. I stopped for a moment to take some pictures. The trees along the river provided a very nice frame.

Falling Back to Boston

Had a lovely trip to Northern California... but now it's time to be back in New England and enjoy the fall season. Leaves in the process of changing along the Charles River Esplanade.

The Esplanade Colors

Relaxing along the Charles River Esplanade... a preview of the fall colors yet to come.

SpinningSpinningSpinning&Spinning

There's a tree along the Charles River that has a branch sticking out over the river. It provides a nice area of shade during the summer months, but it kind of gives you a weird sense of the spins... especially if you look straight up. I tried to re-create that effect in this image.
