View from the Schuylkill Expressway
Uploaded: July 04, 2013
---
The beautiful Philadelphia Skyline seems ubiquitous as one approaches or moves around the City.
---
This was shot yesterday (I was a passenger) while driving on the Schuylkill Expressway. On the river, just out of view, are the famous Museum of Art, Waterworks, and Boathouse Row. Some of the skyline buildings (notably City Hall and the Cira Center) are not in view from this vantage point.
------
Philadelphia has had (I believe) 31 days of rain in the last 33 days.

Happy Fourth of July from Philly--where it all began!
---
Congratulations to the May winners and participants!
