Description
Boston national historic landmark photography of the Old North Church, also known as the Christ Church in the City of Boston. The North Church is located in the Italian Boston North End neighborhood where restaurants, pastries and cafes rule by day and night. The North Church is a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts and is the oldest standing church building in Boston. Paul Revere and the Old North Church in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The foreground shows the Statue of Paul Revere on horseback in Boston Massachusetts with Old North church in the background.
Paul Revere is remembered for his famous ride across Boston warning the colonial militia of approaching British forces.
The photo was taken in late September where some New England fall foliage was already changing colors and displaying some color.
The foreground shows the Paul Revere Monument at Paul Revere Mall with an equestrian statue of the famous patriot located just off the touristy Hanover Street. The Paul Revere square or mall is a small brick paved park with a fountain and shady trees. Other than the historic landmark statue one can find tablets on the walls that describe the famous people and places in the history of the North End.
I arrived early on location and had a chance to snap a few pictures of the equestrian statue and the famous landmark in the background. But not long into the photo shoot the first load of tourists arrived and walked into the photograph. My patience was tested and made me evaluate my compositions and look around for different perspectives. After the second swarm of tourists arrived I realized the small pool of water and unique photo opportunity. I lowered camera and tripod to ground level which allowed photographing one of the most photographed sculptures in Boston in a new perspective.
Good light and happy photo making!
My best,
Juergen
