Most Photographed Winter Fountain

Every time Bostonist walks from the Back Bay Station to the Prudential Stop on the E line there are one or more people taking pictures of the fountain. This week there was a couple in full formal attire against the fountain in “the Shops at Copley Place” but that was unusual. Often times there is just a single girl with some guy taking her picture, or, even more frequently, digital shutters snap pictures of a flowing wall of water. Apologies to the tourists trying to capture this image, but it is just really not feasible to reroute and avoid this photo op. Sure, when Bostonist is walking in front of Paul Revere House we’ll get out of the way so that the tourist can take an unabridged picture of the historic site. Unfortunately mall fountains do not fall on the list of protected spaces. This isn’t a call to say stop taking those pictures, no, go right ahead, feel free, just don’t expect the flow of traffic to try and find some way around your camera angle. Undoubtedly countless Copley Security folks are pictured in these Boston keepsakes.
