More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the sidewalk into the measured hush of the Boston Public Garden, cobblestones underfoot and lens flaring in quick, efficient motions. The photographer checks angles, you shift a jacket, and the city becomes part of the frame: a curve of wrought-iron bench, the slow glide of a swan boat, the pattern of light on a brownstone across Beacon Street.
