Having lived in Philadelphia and it's the western suburbs for most of my life I have gotten to know it's nooks and crannies intimately with my camera. Philadephia is one of the most photogenic cities with it's miles of parks and rich American history. It seems there are statues everywhere and some of the most beautiful architecture this side of Rome!
Philadelphia has a large park system named Fairmount Park that stretches all over the city. One of the most beautiful areas is along the Wissahickon Creek in the North West section between Roxborough and Chestnut Hill. This is my favorite area to get back to nature!! The Valley Green Inn is just beautiful.
Along with it's beautiful vistas of the Wissahickon Creek there are miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Fobidden Drive is the main trail and runs from Ridge Avenue in the East falls / Manayunk area to the to North Wester Avenue in Chestnut Hill near Whitemarsh Township.
Stay tuned for part 2.......
Nicely done Bill. Gotta head out there with my camera sometime.
