Philadelphia

This is my favorite view of the City of Philadelphia. It can be seen from the road that runs along the Schuylkill River near Boathouse Row.
---
We are looking at the Museum of Art, which sits on a rocky bluff called "Fair Mount" in the top center of the photo. The famous scene where Rocky Balboa trains for his big fight was shot on the steps of the museum.
--
Off to the right in the distance is the tallest building in the city, the Comcast Building. Everything else visible belongs to the historic Water Works. The water wheels once turned on the spots that now look like sets of eyes and frowns.

Absolutely stunning capture of Philadelphia Michelle. I would just have to remove the Comcast Building as it just takes away from this beautiful scenic. #10327144
