Went to Philly Sunday and spent the night along with the wife. Can't wait to get back and explore more. A lot different then I remember it 14 years ago when I was last there. Here's a few pics I took.

Here's a few shots over Baltimore (& Towson) from a test flight I had for work earlier last week.

While I'm gonna miss the Midwest, It's gonna be a lot of fun exploring the east coast this year.

nice shots from teh Doubletree

^ Hah, that didn't take long

The shot of the Park Hyatt and the mural on Locust across from Bump gave it away.  ;)

 

Atleast I didn't comment on you spending the night with your wife as opposed to someone else.  LOL  LOL  I'm just sayin'!  LOL

Great shots. Baltimore has so much history within walking distance of Federal Hill and the Inner Harbor, and I think Philadelphia may be America's most photogenic city.

I dig the shot from Camden.

Center City Philadelphia never ceases to amaze me, and that new tower is most definately Comcastic!

I don't know what it is about that Comcast Building that I find incredibly disturbing.  Something about the scale, proportions, and lack of articulation makes me feel incredibly inferior when looking at it.  I guess I'm saying that it's the most definitive symbol of corporate power I've ever seen. 

awesome photos. I really like some of the angles you choosen. Great job.

Might be one of my favorite buildings in the USA.

I love the exterior of the building, to bad the inside is in such a mess.

I was referring strictly to the exterior, but disappointed to hear about the interior.  Never been inside myself.

The lobby is gorgeous.  but the upper portions and rooms disappointing.  I hope Hyatt puts some money into her.

We need more Second Empire buildings in the country, since we've torn down most of them.
