Gedächtniskirche.
Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church built in 1895.
Peek at the results of war- WW2 bombing raid.
“The Gedächtniskirche or Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is the symbolic centre of West Berlin, an anti-war memorial to peace and reconciliation.“
And note the rapid weather change from the front of the church- sun and blue sky to sudden gray, rainy sky as we walked around to the back.
From my visit in April
Charles and Laura took me to the library in downtown Columbus.
We attended the Jim Gill concert at the Columbus Metropolitan Library on Thursday morning.
What a wonderful library.
Here’s an Article about their recent renovation
After dinner out, Steve and I drove the three grandkids to Morningside neighborhood to check out the Christmas decorations.
Along Grant Street, downtown Pittsburgh, after being released from jury duty. You know how I like reflections.
I walked a few blocks to the train station to meet Steve who was picking me up.
There must have been a lot of rain while I was inside the courthouse all day.
Zelienople Pennsylvania.
“George Washington passed through here on November 30, 1753”
Last Saturday I was on my way to Harmony.
Turns out my route was on Washington’s Trail. You can click the link and get the driving route for Western Pennsylvania. I ended up on the trail by chance.
I just love the phone numbers on this sign.
and here is the Strand Theater in downtown Zelienople which I photographed on the way to Harmony last Saturday. Saved from the wrecking ball by the Strand Theater Initiative.
Built in 1914
Harmony – the weekly photo challenge.
I thought a report from Harmony, PA would make an interesting and different post.
Always seeking fresh blog content.
I was already out in my car and drove along the Ohio River without the the GPS. When I put Harmony PA into Maps App I was taken first to the street signs at the bottom of this post. Harmony, Pennsylvania is about 30+ miles north of the city, Pittsburgh.
Unfortunately the Harmony Museum was closed for the day by the time I got to town so will find a willing friend and return. (Preferably on a Spring day with some blue sky.)
I read they have a German Christmas Market, too. Views of Main Street and
We will have lunch at the Stohr Haus Bakery .
Have to plan to arrive at the right time, next time.
Open Wed-Fri 7-2 Saturday 8-2

“Graves were not marked”
Have you ever seen a cemetery without a single marker?

Steve and I went to Harmony in March 2010 (blogpost at night) for a poetry reading at the Bottlebrush Gallery
Today I shopped in the gallery- bought tea towels and a baby quilt.
Because I took a circuitous route, avoiding the interstate and driving the secondary roads, my phone GPS took me to 3 Harmony signs near the town of Baden, PA. Unintentional but interesting to find three Harmony signs.
Received a great response from Harmony Museum Thanks Ruth!! A great time to visit us next would be June 11th. It is our Herb & Garden Fair (at our Harmonist Barn), Fiber Festival in town, and Springfest in town. Lots going on! Free shuttle between the barn and town. Food, entertainment, artists, demonstrations, so much to photograph that day! Starts at 9 am and runs until 3 pm, though the shops are open later than that!
Philadelphia architecture. A mixture of old and new. I.M. Pei – the architect of the Society Hill Towers. There are three towers of condos on five acres.
Spruce Street at 2nd Street.
