Whenever, I come to Philly I rarely travel more than a few block away from City Hall. I usually hang out on Rittenhouse Square. I've previously been to Independence hall, the Libery Bell and Washington Square Park areas.
I've never explored the Franklin Square, China Town or the Museum Area. Today I thought I would expand my horizons. I decided to walk the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. It a nice tree line Boulevard, lined with flags from JFK Plaza to the Museum of Art.
The new comcast Center
Cira Center
JFK Plaza/Love Park
Philadelphia City Hall
On to the Boulevard
Logan Circle/Swann Fountain
The Franklin Institute
The Soldiers and Sailors monuments
Oh no....Storm clouds form as I approach the Museum of Art!
The Washington Monument
The "Rocky Steps". Why is Gonna Fly, the theme song from Rocky, playing in my warped little head?
That JackHole in the blue shirt totally messed up my pic, I wanted his ass to fall all the way down the steps and it starts to rain!
I love the exterior of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
One of my favorite art pieces of all time, "Social Consciousness".
Left to right, the figures represent Compassion, Eternal Motherhood and Death.
Other statues, I like, on the Museum Grounds.
The Lion Fighter
The Amazon
Walking back toward Center City,
I got this shot of Liberty Place
I decided to walk through Rittenhouse Square park.
A great urban park.
Some of the turn of the century homes around the square a fabulous.
The South Side (Avenue of the Arts) of Philadelphia City Hall
I hope you enjoyed my view of Philadelphia!
