23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
A boat driving through the Charles River in the sunset

It was a windless summer sunset, and the Charles River was quiet and calm. A tourist boat drove through the river and created waves like a zipper. Some tourists on the boat were taking photos of the ducks that were heading to their nest. On the front, an old abandoned train track reminds people of the history and youthful vibe of the city.
