Weekly Photo Challenge: Light

From the top of the Bellevue Stratford where I was attending a wedding, one can have a view of Philadelphia from every window. Philadelphia is well-known for their Mural Arts Program–you can see one in the lower right hand corner. (Click on the photo to enlarge.)

I come back to this picture all the time. Great pictures allow all the senses to the party- I can hear the echos of city streets in this one. Love it.

Excellent image. I was instantly reminded me of the Hitchcock film Rear Window. Very cool image.
Much Love

LOVE THIS! I always had a fascination with city windows and the lives within. I used to live in Philly proper too, and always enjoyed the amazing murals. Great post!
