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.

  1. I have been there, but it has been years. My kids have never been, so I think it is about time to schedule a trip! ;0)

  2. I love the pictures of the bell. I think it's neat how you were able to stand in the same place as the Presidents too. Nostalgic. Have a great day.

  8. Great shots Lisa. I especially love the shots that you just posted of the church. I'd gush about them on that post, but for some reason "it" isn't letting me!!!

  10. There must be something about the placement of the Liberty Bell that just makes the lighting perfect. I noticed the same thing in Sandy's photos of it earlier this week. Of course, it helps to have two such gifted photographers taking the shots.
