Benjamin Franklin Bridge | PA/NJ | PA | US
About the bridge:
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, originally named the Delaware River Bridge, is a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey.
Work began on January 6, 1922. At the peak of construction, 15 of the 1,300 workers died during its construction. The bridge opened to traffic on July 1, 1926 on the nation’s 150th anniversary. At completion, its 1,750-foot (533-meter) span was the world's longest for a suspension bridge, a distinction it held until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge in 1929.
The name was changed to "Benjamin Franklin Bridge" in 1955, as a second Delaware River suspension bridge connecting Philadelphia and New Jersey was under construction (Walt Whitman Bridge).
Total length: 2,917.86 meters (9,573 feet)
Clearance above: 5.12 meters (16.8 feet)

According to visitphilly.com "ODUNDE is the creation of its South Philadelphia founder, Lois Fernandez, who launched the festival in 1975 after visiting similar celebrations in Africa. The concept originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa, and celebrates the coming of another year for African Americans and Africanized people around the world. The event is recognized globally as one of the original models for African American festivals.
ODUNDE, Inc. is an educational and cultural organization that sponsors year-round programs celebrating the African diaspora. Along with the annual ODUNDE Festival (the organization’s staple event), ODUNDE hosts ODUNDE365, a series of year-round African and African American cultural and wellness programming including African dance & drumming classes, entrepreneurship programs and more at schools, public green spaces and other venues."

Longwood Gardens | Kennet Square | PA | USA
What you you may not know about Longwood Gardens:
Longwood Gardens consists of over 1,077 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, United States in the Brandywine Creek Valley.
Industrialist Pierre S. du Pont (1870–1954) purchased the property from the Peirce family in 1906 to save the arboretum from being sold for lumber. He made it his private estate, and from 1906 until the 1930s, du Pont added extensively to the property.
According to his will, he founded Longwood Foundation Inc. and left most of his estate "for the maintenance and improvement of the gardens." Upon du Pont's unexpected death April 5, 1954, Henry B. du Pont, president of the Longwood Foundation, announced, "There will be no change in our long-standing policy of opening the gardens and greenhouse to the public every day in the week."

Market Street Bridge spanning the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia Pennsylvania south of William H. Gray III 30th Street Station with the Aramark Headquarters to the left. Many years ago while still an undergraduate student at Rutgers in the early 1980’s, I attended an Ivy League football game at nearby historic and landmarked Franklin Field with a female friend who was a student at Penn where University of Pennsylvania won the Ivy League title by defeating Harvard and followed the very excited fans as the dragged the goal post into the Schuylkill River just south of this spot. When I captured this image, I could not help but but recall that cold fall day in Philly. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visit_pa @visitphilly #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
