2010 – The Year in Pictures

These are my favorite images from 2010. It’s always a challenge to narrow down this list (photographers are not the best editors), and there will be an addition or two from recent trips still being edited. With the exception of Boston I didn’t travel too far from home this year, which just goes to show there is always great photographic potential in your own backyard.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th. Here’s another image from the Freedom Trail in Boston where it all began. On April 18, 1775 two lanterns were hung in The Old North Church to inform Paul Revere before his famous midnight ride that the British were coming by sea and not by land.

On the Freedom Trail

After running the Boston Marathon in April I hit the Freedom Trail to loosen up some sore muscles and get a good dose of American History. Here’s a still life from the old North Church where Paul Revere was given the signal at the start of the Revolutionary War that the British were coming by sea.
