Goodnight Moon

The Supermoon, August 10, 2014 

rises over the Philadelphia Museum of Art 

along the banks of the Schuylkill River. 

I bracketed my images 

and combined two in post in order to 

achieve a properly exposed moon 

with a properly exposed museum. 

I climbed down a steep, rocky, weedy hill 

along Martin Luther King Dr. 

in order to get the reflection.  

Thankfully, I didn't slip 

with the cute but terribly impractical shoes I was wearing.
At least they weren't heels!

A girl has gotta do
what a girl's gotta do.

Olde City at Night

Old City in Philadelphia is aptly named.

Olde City Tattoo, 2nd St., Philadelphia

This is the area of the city where
William Penn and the Quakers first settled.
Our state, Pennsylvania, is named after William Penn.
Do you think Wm. Penn had a tattoo?

Franklin Fountain, Market St., Philadelphia 
Old style ice cream and soda fountain. 


Every month or so I venture into the city for photo club.
Afterwards a few of us will stay up til the wee hours of the morning
because we get totally wrapped up in photographing the city at night.


Christ Church, Est 1695, 3rd Street

This is one of my favorite areas of the city.
One of the best things about Old City
is the traditional style Colonial architecture.
So charming.



Oh, and if, in your travels 
you happen on a sign for Bassett's Ice Cream...
By all means stop and buy some. 
It is delicious.



Bassett's has been serving ice cream in Philadelphia for 5 generations.
My favorite flavor is Raspberry Truffle.
I forget what time we got home after this adventure,
but I am sure everyone in the house was already asleep.

Boat House Row, Philadelphia, PA

If you have seen any tourist photos of Philadelphia, 

then likely you have seen photos of Boat House Row situated along the Schuykill River. 

Boat House Row is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

You can read about the history here.

Today, Boat House Row serves the sport of Rowing.  

The houses along the river were built and used by various rowing clubs. 

On a summer weekend you'll like be able to see a regatta 

taking place on the Schuykill. 

Traditionally, the houses are decorated with white lights.

But one night, on my way home from taking city photos at night, 

I noticed Boat House Row decked out in blue lights. 

Of course, a U Turn was in order to get some more photos!



No matter the color, Boat House Row is always a welcome sight when traveling home.

Slow shutter speed from a tripod.

Philly Skyline from South Street Bridge

It is so nice to have a fellow photographer friend

to do night time city excursions with!

I would never go alone and do this.
