Photo gallery contributors include Aero Racer E, AntyDiluvian, DJ Durutti, minutemen1775, Paul......

Only our old friend and Boston expat NymphoBrainiac could get this absolutely ridiculously gorgeous shot through a window at Logan Airport. Though Chris and his talented wife have moved to the Left Coast (blasphemy!), their photography continues to excite and inspire us.......

We don't know where new PotD contributor haydnseek has been hiding, his photostream is packed with great shots. We're partial to his love of film, and many of shots have a unique antique feel to them. We liked this photo for the depth of field, interesting perspective, and slight sepia tone.......

We love the color and action capture in this great shot by Lady-bug. Admittedly we were also drawn to the photo by memories of many childhood Museum of Science trips as well, but regardless it's a great shot.......

Dellplain is a master, plain and simple - excuse the pun of course. This shot, with its HDR enhancement, transforms Boston into a still from a science fiction movie. The colors are amazing, and Dellplain has outdone himself again.......

We just had to run this shot by richietown. The top of the diptych is during Jon Lester's final pitch of last night's game, the bottom is the crowd's reaction immediately after Lester completed his first no-hitter. Kudos to richie for being able to keep his composure and concentration enough through the celebration to grab the great photos.......
