And I thank you kindly for taking a look!

Great pics! I love the variety. Thanks for sharing! :D

I'm lovin all the angles and characters you captured. It's a nice slice of Philly!

Magic.

You got yourself a coffee table book right there. And hey-- I spotted giovanni sasso!

Your superb pictures of Philly sure beat philately flatly!

Nice pictures! But what were you doing out at Villanova?:sly:

3: Philadelphia

I always enjoy it!

Charming photos. I love all the narrow streets between the houses.

Ha, damn... Man, you've got the touch, huh?

I swear the phrase is even actually correct.

Ugh.

Amazing.

Loving the crowd shots here. Philly is looking beautiful, too! :tup:

Damn.

You guys from Philly will laugh. I once was lucky enough to visit the place. The downtown feels grand, I remember that. Then, they were both proud and humble at the same time to take me to that 'Liberty Bell' they've got over there. They were watching my reaction, I still can remember. At that time - I was an ignorant teen who didn't give a damn - I tried my best to look interested to be polite like a stupid hypocrite, while I didn't take it seriously, like it was just some sort of boring must-see for the dummy, the random tourist. Well, seriously, I'm not kidding, along with the downtown streets and dear old buildings, it's that bell that's yet accurately in my memory. Strangely, today, that so-called Liberty Bell means something to me. I think i understand what the US once meant to many, maybe still means and I'm gald I actually faced that bell, right in my face. It may be a legend bell, it's also a precious symbol and a sign. You know, that's something, though.

Phillly is baaaaack, dope as always, and whats that intersection with the curved streetcar and the colorful buildings?

Out there doin the damn thing.

Nailed it Bro!

Your Philly threads are always extra tasty, love 'em.

Boy oh boy, Donnie Wahlberg sure has put on some weight:

Thanks vz.

Thanks a lot everyone!

blorkishdork, it was my annual pilgrimage to Montgomery County.

Segun, that's Germantown Avenue. The colorful buildings were done by our Mural Arts Program along with two Dutch muralists who painted the buildings in the same style they did favelas in Rio de Janiero.

mousquet, thanks for the thoughts. Symbolism gets lost on Americans sometimes - every iconic image has been commercialized to the point of losing all meaning. The US Flag, the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell probably chief among them.

I'm feeling kinda high right now.

I see you went back to that art tunnel project thing.

Cute classy girl. And I really like the lights in this one.
