"From a distance...


"Life is like a landscape.
You live in the midst of it,
but can describe it only from a distance."

-Charles Lindbergh



"Philly From a Distance"
Belmont Plateau
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


From a distance, I love the beauty of the name "Philadelphia".  But truth is, in the heart of it...we are "Philly".






Here's where I "link up" today.

Next Tuesday's Song-ography title suggestion is "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon.
Come back and link up!  (blog, Instagram, Flickr photos welcome).

    Thinking of 'your Philly' with today's tragic Amtrak accident. Beautiful view of the city.

    What a beautiful perspective on your lovely city. I love the way the black and white unifies the natural and manmade parts into the whole of the image.

    Nice shot - I like it in B&W.
    Will be coming up that way to visit family in Ambler soon. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to go to the city. It's been a long time.

    fantastic view!! I visited there once! A great trip. I think that is where I first went to a 6 Flags park -- which being Canadian we thought was pretty cool.

    This is absolutely stunning and so perfect Philly, that imposing city centre surrounded by beautiful countryside.

    How true! Trying to describe experience is distant and often hard to communicate. I love the way you captured the outside looking in perspective!
