Sean's Element

My step grandson,
Sean, during our day together in "his" Philadelphia last Friday. He, as an artist, is strongly attracted to the visual ravages of time and decay.
-------
This overgrown alley (see comment section) in Old City has a tall, iron gate--easy work for Sean to pry open to gain entry.

The letters, "O-U-R-S-E" are atop the building called "The Bourse" that overlooks Independence Mall where the historic Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are located.
-------
The Philadelphia Bourse Building, the first commodities exchange in the United States, was completed in 1895 and was one of the first steel-framed buildings to be constructed.
Celebrating over 100 years as a center for commerce and trade, The Bourse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it is one of Philadelphia’s leading commercial complexes, home to 24 retail and food service stores and more than 50 businesses.

P.S. I commented earlier today on another image of him and noted that he was in his ELEMENT. Neat to read you said the same thing here! #8928168

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
