Not every good Boston photo is on a straight line, so this challenge isn't a route: it's a shot list. Cobblestones, lavender glass, a skyline shot most visitors never find. Work through them in whatever order suits your day and bank the XP as you go. Published as a challenge this fall.

Acorn Street.

Trinity reflected in the Hancock tower.
The cleanest reflection shot in the city, from the Boylston Street side.
The Zakim from the North Point bridge.
A skyline shot most visitors never find, worth the walk to Cambridge.
