My Mom grew up in Philly. I remember going up into the top of this bldg when I visited my Grandma - late 1950's maybe? Nice night shot!
Leo14-Aug-2012 00:35
Hi Stephanie! I'm back after a lapse of photography. I like the old building with the glow halfway up, bracketed by modern shops with bright lighting. I'm glad you weren't run over.

David Hobbs13-Aug-2012 00:35
Ohhh! FULL MARKS. Go G12. Brilliantly done. If used well those little cameras can really be handheld for those slow shutter speeds. It takes a skilled photographer though. BBV
