Oh yea, there were bikes there. Tons of them. 100,000 the news likes to say but I have no idea how they get to that number. I am cheating here. This shot is with my 40D and was taken 3 years ago. We did not stay long enough this year to see the parade blow by our parking area….

I spent Saturday morning walking around Philly. I had very good intentions of getting to Franklin and Washington Squares but my lack of navigation skills caught up to me again. Apparently Market Street hits a big ol building in the middle of the city. I studied mapquest before I left and wanted to park on Market Street about 6 blocks from the end. Well, as I was driving down Market Street I saw this big building and pulled into a parking spot at the intersection of 17th and Arch. I walked around for a while without realizing I should have come up on Franklin Square by now. I was to far away to head back so I made the best of the locations I found.
Honestly this gives me a reason to go back because I found Philly a nice clean fun city to walk through. I had the 40D with me and the 24-70 mounted on it. Not one odd look from anyone. I think Philly gets a bad wrap in the press cause I thought it was great. I will show a few images here and then a gallery in the new galleries section of this site….
