Viewed from Belmont Plateau late on a winter afternoon.
An aircraft, probably a passenger jet, was caught near the middle of the photo apparently aimed at the office towers. No accidents were reported. The altitude looks quite low. Probably just took off from Philadelphia International Airport.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMoA) is one of the iconic landmarks in the city of Philadelphia. The wing on the right has the Western Civilization sculpture, although it remains the only pediment with an adornment. Some of the bronze griffins are also visible on the roof. The building was completed in 1928.
I drove up to Philly for a business user conference the next day. It had been raining most of the day, but as I arrived close to midnight the rain stopped for just a little bit. The late hour made parking easy and I pretty much had the place to myself to set up a tripod and take some photos. Of course, I also ran up the steps, Rocky style, even in the wet. At the bottom of this frame is an etched stone where Rocky stood in the famous scene, looking down Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards Logan Square and Philadelphia City Hall.
The image is a 3-shot bracketed exposure, with an average exposure of 5 seconds ± 2 stops. LR denoise was applied before the merge.
A luxurious day bed just for naps from the early 19th century or so. The wealthy napped in great style. I would have loved to step over the barrier and crawled in but that would have ended my day and any future days at the museum.

One of the entrances to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is undergoing major renovations, is through a stairway surrounded with scaffolding and art on the walls along the way.
This diptych happens to be the museum director Timothy Rub’s favorite painting. It’s notable for the intensity and pathos depicted, the elegant, stark composition and spiritual energy.
The waterworks in the immediate middle ground once provided the water supply to the City of Philadelphia. It is now a restaurant. The Philadelphia Art Museum is in the far middle ground on the hill, and houses a world famous collection of art. Both the waterworks and the art museum are must see places if you are visiting the city. Image taken at sunset (wish there were a few more clouds in the sky)!
We are getting closer to the weekend! Thanks for stopping by~!
Marybeth having a flashback to when the kids were young! As seen in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Cy Twombly exhibit.
On an icy afternoon in Jan. 2018, I captured this view of the Schuylkill River at the Fairmount Dam, Fairmount Waterworks, and Philadelpia Museum of Art. Brilliant scene on a bitterly cold day.
Philadelphia Museum of Art. F2 was at the Rodin museum well before sunrise. T4 split from Logan just as I arrived. By the time I caught up with them, they were resting on this griffin at the art museum (discussing possible nest locations?). All the while, the visiting male juvenile red-tailed hawk managed to stay out of the adults' sight in a pine tree just south of Eakins Oval.

As the fifth resident tiercel we have observed on the Parkway since 2009, and F2's apparent new mate, we're going to call him T5.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art reopened this week and we took advantage. This combination of ink and oil on canvas shows Venus, Bacchus, Ceres and Cupid all too close together. Titled "Sine Cerere et Libero friget Venus (Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus Would Freeze)" by Hendrick Goltzius, created around 1600-1603.

I think they were sisters as they look so much alike. They were so enjoying their day.

There was a time when we had an inseparable bond. We saw each other countless times. I had a thing for you.
You were colorful; you had flair; you were disruptive; you were deeply in my thoughts.
Looking at your creation is truly inspiring. The connection through art is truly unique. The artist controls the expression and becomes the storyteller. Some work is shared to seek solace in the emotions of other people. In contrast, other work is reserved for the closest friends, and some are kept personal for oneself.
It is time to rekindle the love I once adored.
Callisto Piazza spent his formative years in Brescia, where he was deeply influenced by both Romanino and Moretto. This Concert, one of his greatest secular work, is a prime early example of a genre extremely popular in northern Italy. It shows a group of six men and women singing and playing instruments that include two recorders, a lyra da braccio, and a lute.Before them are two open part books, whose musical notations are lar
