DRENCHING

I was a passenger as we came off the Ben Franklin Bridge (Camden, New Jersey to Philadelphia) after having been soaked to the bone in a torrential storm during a photo shoot. This is an interesting view of the Philly skyline. The little man that seems to be walking on the roof of the building on the left is really the gigantic statue of William Penn that sits on top of the City Hall tower. And the Comcast Center (2nd from right), now the tallest building in Philadelphia, will lose that status in 2017, as Comcast's second building is completed. It has just begun to rise above a large hole just one block from its amazing Dad.
