Philly Photos...

[Mellyrose]

Just wanted to share with you, some photos that Phil and I took while in Philly. It's really a great city to take pictures of. :)


Here are some of my shots:

This is a new building in Philadelphia...they built it on the other side of the river, and it looks like they're trying to expand the skyline west...I hadn't seen it completed 'til this trip. I saw this shot and HAD to take it!

Many people don't realize that The Philadelphia Museum of Art is a work of Art itself:

One of my favorite parts of Philly...I used to live just North of the Parkway...don't mind the horse's ass in the shot. :shock:

Good Photos! Look at Phil with his fist clenched, looks like he was ready to chase the guy down, in case he ran off with the camera! :lol:

Oh ****!!! I totally forgot to point that out!!!!! I noticed it when I was editing....I think that's hilarious considering 30th Street Station is on the border of West Philly, yo.

We were in Philly, from New York, I was wearing a Vermont shirt, and had a rental car with Nevada plates. I thought that was funny.

It was a good time. I was pleased with a lot of the shots we were able to get, even thogh clouds creeped over in our direction.

those are some really beautiful pictures, i went to philly like 1-2 years ago for a concert and couldn't get over how "ol' school" it was. The brick roads just did it for me i guess.

Yea, Phil thought a car driving by us had a flat tire, when we were walking up 6th Street, where there are cobblestone streets. The smell of horse poo from the carriages really sends it over the edge for "ol' school." haha
