New England Photography of Natural Wonders and Historic Landmarks

Photography of New England's historic landmarks and natural wonders is my calling. I love chasing the light throughout my home state of Massachusetts, and also in the neighboring states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut. I find endless creative inspiration and beauty here.

New England is renowned for its stunning fall foliage and autumn colors. During the fall season, the region's forests, mountains and lakes transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, attracting tourists from around the world who come to witness this natural phenomenon.

 

New England is famous for its coastal villages, harbors and seafood. Our coastal towns and cities offer a wide variety of delicious seafood dishes, including our creamy clam chowder, lobster rolls, oysters and fresh Atlantic fishes, attracting food enthusiasts and seafood lovers. 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England is recognized for its charming colonial architecture, especially in towns like Boston, Salem, and Newport. These areas showcase well-preserved historic buildings, churches, and homes that offer glimpses into the region's past often juxtaposed with sleek modern and contemporary architecture.

 

New Englanders enjoy several legendary professional sport teams. The New England Patriots (NFL), Boston Red Sox (MLB), Boston Celtics (NBA), and Boston Bruins (NHL) have all achieved considerable success with plenty of championships, garnering a devoted fan base.


The New England coastline is dotted with lighthouses that have become iconic symbols of the northeast region. These historic structures serve as beacons for sailors and offer scenic views for visitors.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England is a significant producer of cranberries and maple syrup. Cranberry bogs, especially in Massachusetts, are a common sight, and the region's maple syrup is renowned for its quality and flavor.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England's countryside is loved for its unique charm, with idyllic small towns, red barns, and rolling hills. The region offers beautiful landscapes, especially in Vermont, Maine, Western Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, which are popular destinations for hiking, fishing, boating, biking or just chilling out.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England played a crucial role in American history, being the site of the first English settlements in the country. It was the birthplace of the American Revolution, with notable events like the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Lexington and Concord.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Englanders are drawn to their rolling hills and mountains for outdoor recreational activities, and beautiful scenery, throughout the year. New Hampshire White Mountains, Vermont Green Mountains, Massachusetts Berkshires and Maine Acadia National Park are the most notable mountain regions in New England.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England is home to numerous beautiful waterfalls. Bash Bish Falls (Massachusetts), Sabbaday Falls (New Hampshire), Kent Falls State Park (Connecticut), Moss Glen Falls (Vermont), Stepstone Falls (Rhode Island), and Screw Auger Falls (Maine) are some of my favorites.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England's covered bridges were built primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries. The covers protect the wooden trusses from the elements, thus extending their lifespan. While many covered bridges have been lost over the years due to natural disasters or modernization, there are still several notable ones that you can visit in New England.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England's white steeples have a rich history dating back to the colonial period when many of the region's towns were founded. They were typically constructed as part of meetinghouses, which served as both places of worship and community gathering spaces. Over time, the tradition of building white steeples spread beyond churches to other structures such as town halls, schools, and libraries.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England mills were built during the 19th century during an expansion of the textile manufacturing in the North East. Though mainly not in use today, they offer a sense of a simpler, foregone time.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New England's beautiful beaches attract locals and tourists alike. Some of my all time favorites beaches in the New England region are the Massachusetts Cape Cod Bay and National Seashore, Maine Ogunquit Beach, New Hampshire Hampton Beach, Rhode Island Block Island Beaches.
