Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #89: A River Runs Through It

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week from Amy is A River Runs Through It. She said the theme title for this week is borrowed from “A River Runs Through it” by Norman Maclean

Here are the photos from my travels.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: History – Freedom Trail, Boston, MA

“I thought about what might be meaningful about this week to a number of readers and as it was Canada Day this past Saturday (Happy 150th birthday!) and it is Independence Day in the United States today, I thought why not go for History as a theme?” – Frank

We went to Boston, Massachusetts in 2004. It was a very cold year on the East Coast. We stayed in a hotel overlooking a frozen river. We followed the Red Brick Road to see the Wizard! No, not really! We followed the Red Brick Freedom Trail to see some historic sites. Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile long (4.0 km) path through downtown, Boston, Massachusetts, that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States.

We drove around to visit other parts of the city also.

The Mayflower arrived in Plymouth Harbor in 1620, but on November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims made the first stop and came ashore on land that is now in Provincetown on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Many towns have signs denoted the year of establishment. Some houses, along with the house numbers, the years built are also listed.
