Back Bay - Boston - Massachusetts - From the Longfellow Bridge -One of my favorite views of Boston is actually from the river. Without a boat though, shooting from the Longfellow is the next best thing. If you've never sailed on the Charles, I can't recommend Community Boating enough. If you're under 18 membership is only $1 for the summer.There is absolutely no need to mention how I managed to finish last in the one regatta I ever entered on the river...
