sidewalk

This is on Filbert St near JFK Blvd in Philadelphia.  Alex and I had fun on our trip, but I’m thinking I might have enjoyed myself more.  I took a bunch of shots and kept almost 60 and I’ve picked about 10 to share here.

This building used to be the city hall annex but is now the Courtyard Mariott.  For more monochrome shots, visit The Weekend in Black & White 27-August-2010 and Shadow Shot Sunday #119.

    Excellent shot. I love the perspective and the light and shadows.

    I love the lines, and the light, and the figures in the distance.

  4. Spectacular composition ending in what might be a painting
    at the end, acknowledging that it isn’t! Where in Philly could this be, I wonder.

    I love this shot-especially the way the people are faint at the end of the arches. Beautiful.

  13. Catherine says:

    wonderful monochrome shot – love the repeating arches

  14. Fantastic image, Woody. «Louis» enjoys geometrical shots like this, something his usual subject matter normally denies him.

  15. Such a GRAND sidewalk, with lovely shadows!

  16. A dramatic, impressive walkway with wonderful pools of light in contrast with the plains of shadow!

    I like it a lot! It sort of reminds me of Palais Royal in Paris.
    We stayed at that Marriott Courtyard just before we moved to Pennsylvania last year. :)
