I'm looking for a place to take pictures of Boston, esp. Back Bay's brownstones. What is a good place to have a bird's eye view of Boston? Some place free and open to tourists would be great!

A great place to have a bird's eye view of Boston is the Skywalk Observatory. It is located at the top of the Prudential Center. Please find the link below:

It is not free but it isn't too expensive and open to the public
Ticket Prices:
Adults $19.00
Seniors $15.00
Children under 12 $13.00
Student with college ID $15.00

Skywalk observatory is permanently closed as of Spring 2020, so this is no longer an option. A new observation area may reopen in the future, but is not guaranteed.– A. R.May 28, 2021 at 20:22
The Prudential center is a great place to see it. Directly above the observatory is the bar Top of the Hub
You can go up without any charge and buy a drink at the bar and walk around and enjoy the views.
Here's a picture I quickly snapped on my phone from last year at the Top of the Hub bar:

Top of the Hub is also permanently closed as of Spring 2020, so this isn't an option anymore either.– A. R.May 28, 2021 at 20:23
