No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus
4 December 2020 - As seen on my hike from the top of Mt. Tammany, NJ overlooking the Delaware River, I-80, Mt. Minsi and the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap. Overcast day with rain just a few hours away, saw a total of 6 people on the trail, 2 of them are in this shot. All in all a good day. Nine 20mm vertical image panorama stitched and processed in Photoshop.
A beautiful day for a hike. I always take a couple of shots on the trail but I'm never really too happy with them, this one I liked. Best get the snow before it all melts with a stretch of warmer weather headed our way!

Tho the calendar says March, making it the psychological start of spring, just look around.....it was a cold, gray day at the Camden waterfront. The famous Philadelphia skyline is right across the Delaware River and looking good...
24 February 2021 - As seen on my hike from the top of Mt. Tammany, NJ overlooking the Delaware River, I-80, Mt. Minsi and the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap. Stunning perfect day with clear skies and temps in the 50's deg. F. Tough hike up with the hard pack snow softening up and feeling more like sand than frozen snow. Saw about a dozen people on the trail, all stopping to put on masks before passing, all in all a good day. Ten 20mm vertical image panorama stitched and processed in Photoshop.
I was out at Battery Park in New Castle shooting at sunrise. Reaching my car, about to go home, I saw this beautiful scene. Right away I knew exactly how I wanted to edit and present the image. Needless to say I am happy with the result.
The battleship New Jersey is an Iowa class battleship that served the US Navy from WWII until it was decomissioned for the last time in 1991. It earned more battle stars than the other Iowa class battle ships, and was the only US battleship providing gunfire support during the Vietnam War. The ship was launched in 1942 and was taken out of service in 1991, having been recommisioned and decommisioned several times. It moved to it's current home along the Camden New Jersey waterfront in the 90's. It is now a tourist attraction.
I took this at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 using an older Canon point and shoot. I shot in AP and the camera could only shoot jpeg. I edited them by using a preset in an app called Koloro. Then I played with the exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows. I did not edit any color except to add luminence to the light blue.

Shot from Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia looking east toward Camden NJ. I used an older Canon point at shoot in AP/jpeg. I edited the exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows in Lightroom. The Benjamin Franklin Bridge is to the right.
Fireworks on the Delaware River celebrating America's Independence Day. What better place to be than Philly, where it all started on July 4, 1776. This image was taken from the Camden Waterfront behind the Adventure aquarium. Creative crop on this one. View large for best fireworks experience.
Thanks for stopping by ~!
It was quite foggy the other day as well as cold and rainy. It persisted for most of the day. This shows the Ben Franklin Bridge which connects the city of Philadelphia with Camden in New Jersey. The pier to the right in the photo is the Race Street Pier which had been made into a great park for all to enjoy.
The New Hope–Lambertville Bridge, officially called the New Hope–Lambertville Toll Supported Bridge, is a six-span, 1,053-foot (321 m)-long bridge spanning the Delaware River that connects the city of Lambertville in Hunterdon County, New Jersey with the borough of New Hope in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The current steel truss bridge was constructed in 1904 at a cost of $63,818.81. It is owned and maintained as a toll-free bridge by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.
Its total length is either 1,045 or 1,053 feet (321 m), depending on the source. Each span measures 171 feet (52 m). The bridge supports a cantilevered walkway on its southern side for pedestrians.
The original 1,051-foot (320 m)-long and 32-foot (9.8 m)-wide wooden covered bridge was built on September 12, 1814, replacing the service once provided by Coryell's Ferry. Its six wooden arches each measured 175 feet (53 m) long and 13 feet (4.0 m) high. Its designer, Lewis Wernwag, was nationally known for his covered bridges.[6] The flood of 1841 heavily damaged the original bridge. A second wooden covered bridge was constructed in 1842, but was destroyed during the flood of 1903. As was the case with several of the Delaware River's other bridges at the time, the flood encouraged replacing the wooden structure with a modern steel bridge. Thus, the superstructure of the New Hope–Lambertville Bridge dates to 1904, when its steel truss spans were first built. The cost of the 1904 bridge was $63,818.81, several thousand dollars less than the $67,936.37 needed to build the 1814 structure.
In 1919, the Commission For the Elimination of Toll Bridges bought the bridge, freeing the financially struggling private company from its obligations. The bridge has been toll-free since that time.
Prior to 1934, trolleys of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Traction Company, and later the Trenton-Princeton Traction Company, used the New Hope–Lambertville Bridge to cross back into New Jersey.
The New Hope–Lambertville Bridge was one of the few structures not devastated by the flood of 1955, the greatest that the Delaware River had ever experienced. It did, however, require about a month of repairs, reopening on September 22, 1955.
on a Saturday night! I have not been out much over the past month as life has gotten busy. I did manage to get out last night and do some night photography (well I guess this image would classify as twilight photography). I went down to the Camden Waterfront on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River; one of the best vantage points for photographing the skyline of Philadelphia. The sky was pretty cool looking right after sunset and this image here is one of the favorites I came away with. The City of Brotherly Love is looking pretty sharp these days! Believe it or not, not so long ago (early 1980'S) that the statue of Billy Penn (slightly left of center in the image) atop City Hall was THE tallest building in Philadelphia.
