On a return trip from New Hampshire back to Tennessee, I checked in to a hotel that I had previously made a reservation for online. Since I had not been to Boston before, I wasn't sure about the neighborhood, but I'm adventurous... Following my GPS instructions I found myself crossing this amazing, beautiful bridge: The Bunker Hill Bridge. Since I am a photographer, my immediate thought was I just had to photograph this bridge! I checked my GPS and discovered my hotel was just a few blocks away. I couldn't believe my luck. I checked in, grabbed some dinner, then grabbed my gear and took off for the Bridge. I was blessed with another stroke of luck, as I found there was a park along the river that provided excellent views of the bridge. I guess I spent about two hours there that night, taking quite a few photographs of the Bridge. The park was pleasant, being laid out nicely. Every one I ran into was pleasant and responsive to my habit of saying "Hi" to all. Here are a few photos from that night:

Architectural beauty. We saw it from a nearby park so the kids could play and have fun while we took in all the fun. The park is quite nice with some fun play areas for the kids that I haven’t seen often in other parks.We did walk on the bridge a little bit but had to return because we were short of time. Parking is available near USS constitution and there are couple of restaurants along the harbor walk. You can visit the park, harbor walk and see the ships by parking here and North End is quite near from here too.

The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is one of the widest cable-stayed bridges in the world. The Bridge serves as the northern entrance to and exit from Boston. The Bridge is named after civil rights activist Lenny Zakim and the American colonists who fought the British in the Battle of Bunker Hill. There are several parks on every side of the river, and a nice walking overpass that allows you going under the bridge and crossing from one side to the other.
