Scenic suggestions for Cambridge, MA?

[porkchop_express]

Ok, so I will be travelling from the Philadelphia area to Cambridge, MA for business this Sunday through Tuesday. I've decided to take the camera and tripod with me and was wondering if there were any kind individuals who might divulge any areas of interest that I would be crazy to pass up. Thanks so much in advance.

Cross the Charles into Boston. Better photo ops. Or, if you are going to stay in The People's Republic of Cambridge, get an evening shot of the Boston skyline, or better yet, sunrise.

Thanks so much, Quo Fan. I will definitely be trying your suggestions.

Actually anywhere in Boston because it has a lot of historic buildings and also new ones. All around each other.

If you can't find one thing to photography in one of the oldest and coolest cities in the US, then you are officiall blind and/or dead.

(Harvard, MIT... Hoodlems, southies,... Boston)

Go to Copley Square and photograph the church, Public Gardens and shoot the Swan Boats, The State House, Old North Church, Etc. Need I go on?

Go to Faneuil (pronounced by the locals as "Fannel") Hall and have a meal at Dick's Last Resort.

Thanks again, Quo Fan, for all of your suggestions. I have more than enough places to see. I'm certain to find interesting things local to my vicinity, thanks to you I have places to branch out to, as well. I just hope I can find the time to see everything while I'm here.

I lived in the Boston area most of my adult life, and I used to work in Boston, and I never saw all there is to see.

IIRC, Harvard has a lot of really great shots. Since if you can get one of a renowned professor doing something silly, like a shot of one in mid-sneeze.
