"Real" Stained Glass


Having attended a "modern" church while growing up (or as my sister succinctly puts it, a church that "looked modern in 1960"), I've developed an appreciation for more traditional churches. Especially the stained glass - modern churches usually skimp on this detail.
The examples above are from St. Francis of Assisi in Norristown, PA, one of the most beautiful and striking traditional churches I've ever been in.

Venus over Philly

Another shot from Camden - showing the planet Venus (top center) high over the Philly skyline.

Old Ben


I don't know whether it's ironic or appropriate that one of the best places to view Philadelphia from is Camden, NJ. Whatever the case, here is a shot I took from that vantage point of the Ben Franklin Bridge.

[Side note - sorry for the lull in postings for April. Early in the month, photographic opportunities seemed to dry up, and I felt that I could use a break, anyway. Now that I've built my photo stockpile back up a bit, I'll hopefully begin posting more - as long as time permits!]
