Two days ago, I cycled along the Charles River to Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge/Watertown to soak in and photograph the peak vibrant autumnal foliage! The dedicated landscaping and horticultural team caring for this luxurious garden cemetery was working with meticulous attention to keep the lush space in perfect harmony. I offer my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to them, as this is where I come to visit my Mom and Dad, who are resting here in eternal peace. 🙂🍁🌿☀️✨✝️🪽🕊️🚴♂️🚵♂️⛪️🙇♂️🙏
I cycled along the Charles River to Mount Auburn Cemetery to take in the incredible autumnal foliage and visit the Peace Angel! The landscaping and horticulture team maintain this renowned garden cemetery in perfect harmony, keeping it pristine and earning it the title of a true "Heaven on Earth." I always visit with my Mom and Dad, who rest in peace here in the Story Chapel. 🙂🪽🕊️🍁🌿☀️✨✝️🚴♂️🚵♂️🙇♂️🙏
Yesterday afternoon was ideal on the river for the final day of the 3-day Head of the Charles (HOCR). I captured the Boston University Women's Lightweight Fours gliding powerfully past in Race 63! 🙂👍👏🙇♂️🙏
This afternoon, I biked across the Mass Ave Bridge and along the Cambridge side of the Charles River to watch and photograph the Head of the Charles Regatta as crews lined up at the basin for the start. Despite the cold and windy weather, it was exhilarating to feel the energy and spirit of the rowers and spectators! 😀✨👍👏🙇♂️🙏
The last race of the 2026 Head of the Charles Regatta was the Directors' Challenge Mixed Eights at 4:30 PM. My video features the Riverside Boat Club’s “Great 8” at the starting line, with rowers ranging in age from 45 to 66. They came in 5th place out of 35 entries. 👍👏🙇♂️🙏
Around noon today, while cycling from my Boston home along the Cambridge side of the Charles River, I met a wonderful group of people getting their boat ready at the Riverside Boat Club. They are the Minerva Rowing Club Eights from the Netherlands, competing in The Head Of The Charles Regatta (HOCR) this Sunday afternoon, October 18, 2026.
They were wonderfully generous with their time and gracious in answering all my questions. I truly appreciate their kindness and wish them the best of luck in their competition! 😀🏆✨👍🙇♂️🙏
The Minerva Rowing Club will compete in Event #69 Men's Championship Eights (M CHAMP 8+) tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 18, at 3:20 PM. (*Event times, if listed, are tentative and subject to change)
Best wishes! 🙂👍👏🙇♂️🙏
This morning, I cycled to Boston University's DeWolfe Boathouse to capture videos and photos of the Head of the Charles (HOCR) crews practicing in the Charles River basin. The three-mile course starts right here among colored buoys marking the channels. I stayed from 11:30 AM until almost 3 PM and am sharing four video clips that capture what I experienced. It was a gorgeous sunny day, but I’m feeling pretty worn out from all the cycling and adventures. Still, it’s a good kind of tired. Kudos and best wishes to all participants and volunteers! 🙂🙋♂️✨🙇♂️🙏
Crews row by the Riverside Boat Club below, getting in some practice for the Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR), which kicks off this Friday. 🙂🙏
One of the most stunning spots on Earth can be found right here in Cambridge and Watertown: the serene and historic Mount Auburn Cemetery. I always visit my Mom and Dad, who are resting in peace in the Story Chapel. This is Auburn Lake, which I captured in autumnal colors today.✨🚴♂️🚵♂️🙇♂️🙏
I spent a fantastic, perfect day cycling around the Charles River in Boston and Cambridge, watching various Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR) activities! Here, two Eights practice with coaches while a lone kayaker glides by me.
The 2026 Men’s Championship Eight field features elite crews from top universities, national teams, and international programs, with Cambridge University and Holland Acht among the standout contenders.
The 61st Head of the Charles Regatta will run October 16–18, 2026, on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA, with the Men’s Championship Eight race starting at 3:20 PM EST on Sunday. This is the premier men’s eight event, drawing the fastest crews from around the world!
The HOCR is the World's largest 3-day Regatta, drawing hundreds of thousands to the banks and waters of one of the world's most beautiful rivers! 😀🏆🌎🌍🌏🚣✨🌊🌟👍👏🙏
The Head of the Charles Regatta starting line is at the BU DeWolfe Boathouse, located on the right bank of the Charles River on the Cambridge side.
Just beyond, the Boston University Bridge is one of only three spots in the world where a boat can sail under a train, the train runs under a car, and the car drives under an airplane!
The World's largest 3-day rowing competition is only 4 days away, Oct. 16-18, 2026!
This is my photo from 2 days ago; the autumnal foliage has arrived! 😀🍁👍👏🙇♂️🙏
I’ve volunteered as a professional photographer for decades, and yesterday I captured a stunning 360-degree aerial video panorama of the beautiful Charles River, showcasing Boston and Cambridge. The wonderful greenery and bike paths are courtesy of our Commonwealth's Department of Recreation & Conservation.
I don't own a car; if I can't bike to a place, I simply don't go, and I'm 81 years old.
Since its origin in 1965, the Head Of The Charles® Regatta (HOCR) has welcomed the world’s best crew teams to the banks of the Charles River for the ultimate three-day rowing competition! The HOCR will be held this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, OCT. 16-18, 2026. ✨😀🚴♂️🚵♂️👍👏🌊🌲🌳🚣♀️🚣🚣♂️🏆🙇♂️🙏
Boston, known as the "City on the Hill," was famously described by John Winthrop in his 1630 sermon, "A Model of Christian Charity." His sermon emphasized moral responsibility and the need to uphold a covenant with God. Matthew 5:14🕯️✨🙇♂️🙏
The 2026 Head of the Charles Regatta will take place from October 16–18 on the Charles River that is shared by Boston and Cambridge. As the world’s largest three‑day rowing event, it draws over 11,000 competitors, 325,000–400,000 spectators, and 2,400 volunteers.
I filmed a 360 panorama video at Magazine Beach, Cambridge, with the opening scene including the Boston University Bridge and then panning to capture the River Street Bridge, along with stunning views of Boston and Cambridge! 😀👍👏🏆🙏
