In my quest to photo-document my morning walk through historic Boston, I ended up with more photos than could fit in the post. However, I realized that the unused photos could be of interest and hence this addendum to the original post.
The Robert Gould Shaw and Massachusetts 54th Regiment Memorial is located across Beacon Street from the State House. It commemorates the African American soldiers who, during the early years of the Civil War, volunteered to fight for the Union at a time when African Americans were not allowed, due to racism, to enlist as regular soldiers. They were led by a white officer, Robert Shaw.
George Washington, depicted upon his horse, is silhouetted against the morning sky in the Public Garden.
The suspension bridge over the swan boat lake in the Public Garden (with a view of some of Boston's homeless sleeping underneath).
A relief scuplture in honor of the Puritans and their founding of Boston in 1630.
Statues that bring the ducklings from the childrens' book Make Way for Ducklings to "life."
Boston's Back Bay is full of churches.
