After Yesterday’s Photo, a Beautiful View of Pennsylvania from a Train Window
Coming home to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on the train, this vista is just outside of Lancaster. Shot with a Canon 20D, my old camera-through a train window.
Working at Jim’s Steaks Philly
From the archives. People at work series- graciously allowed me to photograph as we ordered drinks to go with our cheesesteaks.
I like the backlight of the glass door fridge, her quizzical expression, patiently waiting for our order. Tourists!
I am sorry I didn’t get her name but perhaps someone will know and comment.
In the city of brotherly love last summer for a wedding and it was late Saturday night, a line around the block to get into Jim’s Steaks. Steve and I waited. It was well worth the wait And just last week, Mark said to me that it’s all in the bread. Hmmmm. Good thing we live across the state in Pittsburgh!!!
Jim’s Steaks South Street Philly
In Philly for about 24 hours for wedding Sunday at noon. Steve and I drove up 16th St and he got out and read the Historic Marker at Louis Kahn’s office building 1501 Walnut St., drove past my parents’ old home on Lombard, and South Street where we actually waited in line with the other tourists. There is a lot of construction near Independence Hall. We drove by Ben Franklin’s grave where Mark and his Grampie used to throw pennies. Drove out to City Avenue through a lot of traffic where we saw a man come out of nowhere and cross highway 76 and jump on a car hood two lanes over. Lots of police cars from all directions a minute or two later. We tried to watch the local news to see what happened. Unexpected. Glad he didn’t pick my car to jump on.
Conductor on the Platform through The “Pennsylvanian” Train Window
When you travel the route from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and maybe onto New York, this conductor calls out the history of Horseshoe Curve before the train approaches this landmark. You look out the window, see the front end of the train across the way, just as he said. Amazing!

All Aboard.
