Anachronism
Uploaded: June 11, 2009
---------
This statue of a Union soldier stands outside the Union League Building on Broad Street in Philadelphia.
-------
From this viewpoint, one is struck by the placement of this old soldier on COMMON GROUND with the soaring skyscrapers of Today.
--------
The Union League was erected in 1864 as the clubhouse of an organization of wealthy pro-Union donors. The building is currently home to a hotel named 'The Inn at The League' and is still owned by the Union League.

Fourth in the Drive-by Series. Had to jump out of the car to shoot a mini-series at this spot!

Your angle and POV makes this composition TERRIFIC Michelle, great capture! #7620055frank w. degenhardt June 11, 2009
Michelle- Rock on with this fantastic and beautiful view of this statue. Love that pov and the angles. While the statue is the center of focus, one can't help but admire all the buildings around it. Each building has its own unique and amazing EOD and I especially love how you caught just the edge of the one in the upper left cornor. Top it all off with a brilliant beautiful sky with clouds. Framing is superb.Mike Clime June 11, 2009
