Philly Skyline
Silhouette of the Philly skyline with the Ben Franklin Bridge at sunset from Camden, South New Jersey (10.26.11).
On my way to meet a co-worker for dinner, I took a wrong turn and crossed the Delaware River via the Ben Franklin Bridge, ending up in Camden, NJ. I took about 10 photos and immediately re-entered the freeway. The architecture, decrepit boarded-up Victorian houses and falling buildings, quickly caught my eye. Unbeknownst to me, the city of Camden has the highest crime rate in the nation, and is best known for its struggles with urban dysfunction. Three Camden mayors have been jailed for corruption, the last was in 2000.
