The couple probably wanted a long-exposure shot of The Parkway but had no tripod. So he set it on the steps to steady the camera.

“Come see the cherry trees of a water constellation
and the round key of the rapid universe,
come touch the fire of instantaneous blue,
come before its petals are consumed.”
- Pablo Neruda
Fairmount Park is a busy place, especially on the weekend. But you wouldn’t know it when you’re in this spot.
Captured on a very cloudy day, the colors were ideal for enhancements in texture. I used Lanabem-Anna's 164. Perfect!!
I was riding my bike like I do most Sundays and heard a police escort saying, "Clear the road, a bike race is coming through!" A bike race!? I immediately parked my bike on the shoulder and grabbed my camera which I always take with me. The lighting in the spot I was in was not good. The sun was behind the bikers and I couldn't use the flash because I was in continuous shoot mode. Photoshop saved this otherwise under exposed shot. This turned out to be not just a bike race but the Independence Philadelphia Triathlon.

The Siberian tiger or Amur tiger is a population of the tiger subspecies Panthera tigris tigris native to the Russian Far East, Northeast China[1] and possibly North Korea.[2] It once ranged throughout the Korean Peninsula, but currently inhabits mainly the Sikhote-Alin mountain region in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East. In 2005, there were 331–393 adult and subadult Siberian tigers in this region, with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals. The population had been stable for more than a decade because of intensive conservation efforts, but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining.
Different frame, very different treatment [so hard for me to decide] Spring along the Schuykill River - April 2022 P.S. my camera is on its way back to the factory for some needed repairs so you won't see any new shots for a bit. Boo Hoo!
It's Philadelphia's Fairmount Park and the Schuylkill River shot from Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The river runs through the center of the city. The river and park are a very narrow strip of green in dense city of high-rise building, brick row houses, industry and business.

"Memorial Hall is a Beaux-Arts style building in the Centennial District of West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built as the art gallery for the 1876 Centennial Exposition, it is the only major structure from that exhibition to survive. It subsequently housed the Pennsylvania Museum of Industrial Art (now the Philadelphia Museum of Art). Since October 18, 2008, the Hall has served as home to the Please Touch Museum. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976." Wikipedia 2021
