I'm sorry the comments haven't been working all day - thank you for letting me know - this is the first chance I've had to update the post and fix the issue.  We're in Missouri, visiting family and have to come to Hardee's for internet.  Mom and Dad's wireless is more secure than Fort Knox, lol.  We'll be heading back home on Saturday and Sunday I'll be trying to make the roads and catch up with you all!

Liberty Bell & Indepence Hall

lc2565


With all the people gathered around getting a shot of the Liberty Bell without them too turned out to be a challenge.

I was up to the challenge though.

John F Kennedy stood here when he delivered his address on the interdependence of nations. July 4th, 1962 - I stood here May 30th, 2009.

Appreciating the Architecture

lc2537


Philly had so much to see that I swear my head was constantly turning and bobbing.


lc2538


I love the architecture and clock towers and was continually straining to see them closer, from afar.


lc2539


Why don't churches make steeples like this anymore?


lc2540


I'm sure the builders felt so much pride as they put this all together, and stood back with contented sighs when it was complete.


lc2541


I was thankful for a large median where I could pause, while crossing, and snap a full shot of this lovely building!


lc2542


The lens I had on would not allow for the full view I wanted but I think you can still see how magnificent these are!


lc2543


Then I just aimed up to get the rest of the picture. :) My neck was pretty tired after all the sightseeing.


lc2544


But, so much to see!
