Description


---
Haven't been shooting enough lately, so back to old favorites to try to make them better.
----
This was shot through the glass into the main lobby of the Comcast Center in Philadelphia. If you visit the City of Brotherly Love, don't miss the unforgettable lobby.
----
But here's a new twist: The Comcast Building is now the tallest building in Philly. And except for New York and Chicago, it is tallest in the U.S.
----
But Comcast has just announced plans to build yet another office tower just a wee bit taller. It will be separated from the current building by a tiny (in comparison) old church (I'll see if I can find a photo of the church). The two buildings together will be phenomenal. You'll be able to reach this new building indoors, from the Suburban Train Station. Very cool.
