Philly Pictures

"She Who Must Not Be Named" and I were in Philadelphia recently, and of course I brought my camera along. Here's the Cira Center, just completed last year. Is it the wave of the future? Gee, I hope not.








And here's a past perspective -- a romantic footpath in Fairmont Park near the Art Museum; a view I find much more congenial.






And of course, boathouse row along the Schuylkill.






A redtail hawk flies high over the park.









And we close with the neo-classicism of the waterworks with the art museum in the background. While we were gadding about the city I remembered just how much I missed the place, but the two-hour long traffic jam along the Surekill reminded me of why I rarely visit it.
