Paul Revere's Ride

During my tour of Boston, I visited the Old North Church. If you walk through the alley on the side of the church and proceed to the gardens behind the church, there is a lovely court yard. At the far end, there is a statue of Paul Revere who had made his imfamous ride after seeing the lanterns in the church steeple.

I like this perspective because it links both Paul Revere and the church in the photograph just as they are indelibly linked in history.

With the way the trees have grown, it almost feels like he is blazing a path on his horse to alert the surrounding towns and villages.
