Philadelphia


January 30, 2005

I had plans to go away for a few days to Springfield, MO, for work. This was my goodbye to freezing-cold Philadelphia the night before I left - January 30, 2005. I've been shooting a lot of photos in this area lately, mainly to document construction of the Cira Centre, our beautiful new skyscraper that is really starting to gain some attention.

Skyline from the Race Street crossing onto the Schuylkill River path




Cira Centre from directly across the river





Yes, it was really cold out.

Center City views from the west







2400 Chestnut: some say the building is ugly, but it looks great in the right light.







Looking south from the Chestnut Street Bridge toward the Walnut Street Bridge







Mural on Chestnut




South 23rd Street, I think









Spruce Street
