30th Street Station and Cira Center - Philadelphia

The bridge is Chestnut Street, and the building on the immediate left is Philadelphia's main post office, the following building is 30th St. Station, Philadelphia's main train station, and the bright shiny building beyond that is the Cira Center. On the right is the continuation of the Schuykill Banks Trail.

(and if you have read all of this, you most be bored)

The Cira Green in the sky

Back in the day when I was in Grade School, we were taught the Palmer Method of Writing. Three exercises we had to do were direct (clockwise), indirect (counter-clockwise) ovals and 'push-and-pulls'. Moving from left to right one line at a time, over and over again, until your hand hurt. This was suppose to enhance cursive handwriting. Today, I write exclusively in print.

This is the Cira Center rendered in bokeh. As seen on JFK Blvd. behind 30th Street Station, Philadelphia, PA.

Cira Center and the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia PA, USA at sunset.

Took this with an EOS 30D on tripod with 10-22mm on tripod. Wasn't too difficult to get a good range of tones with auto-exposure bracketing. Positioned the camera so that the sun was blocked by the building busting out the overexposed highlights.

Software used:

photomatix and photoshop CS3.

Glimpsed from the Market Street Bridge that spans the Schuylkill River, the western façade of the neo-classical 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. The glass tower of the 29-storey Cira Centre also features. Completed in 2005, this is the work of César Pelli.
