Bostonscapes Photograph Tour of Allston-Brighton

The blogger "fenix" on Bostonscapes Daily Photo has been touring the neighborhoods of Boston and generating a series of posts with many beautifully-shot photographs highlighting the architecture, landmarks, and businesses. She also provides some historical background.

She's started into his Allston-Brighton photo-tour -- four posts to-date (although one is about Brookline's Coolidge Corner instead!) -- and will probably total 8-10 posts when she's finished. Re-load the URL daily to watch the progress, or, better yet, comment on her blog with suggestions for additional photographs that would be appropriate.

A quick bunch of my suggestions for A-B subjects: St. John's Seminary (St. John's Hall) and the hillside and grove next to Cardinal O'Connell's mausoleum; Chestnut Hill Reservoir with pumping station; St. Columbkille's church; WGBH fortress; view towards downtown from the St. Elizabeth's parking garage; Chandler's Pond from the reedy (eastern) end; The Hills Are Alive (The Cenacle); any number of places along the Charles River Reservation; Sparhawk mansion at 43-45 Murdock Street (before they tear it down); the beautiful magnolia tree out front 1954 Comm Ave (wait -- he already chopped it down); Harvard Stadium; architecture of the middle campus at Boston College; many handsome apartment buildings along Comm Ave.

Based on her work on the other neighborhoods, I think there will be better photographs to come than the ones already posted. She really has a good eye for layout and color.
