Philadelphia Sky

    Taken near the corner of 18th and Market Streets on a busy Monday morning. Rain over the weekend prevented a clear blue sky on this day. Also, it was indeed very cold during the day.

    Location: Philadelphia, PA, US

    I was surprised to see this one make it to Explore. Highest position on Explore so far: #299 on Friday, January 18, 2008. Thanks, everyone!!!

      Excellent composition. I normally prefer deep blue skies, but the more subtle shades are perfect for this photo.

      Brilliant! Good eye, love the pattern. Thanks for whoever came up with the otherwise dull plan of building cities on a grid.
