This photograph was taken on New Years Eve 2006, I always thought this photograph was a shining example of how beautiful Philadelphia can be. I have been here for 11 years and for better or worse Philadelphia is a part of me. My life has been woven into the urban fabric that is The City of Brotherly Love.

This piece is of the "Fairmount WaterWorks" in Philadelphia, PA.
The Water Works has always been a special place to me, I remember about 7 years ago a friend and I climbed piles of dirt and hopped fences to sit down by the river. The WaterWorks was being restored and revamped at the time but beyond the gritty plateau and down a metal spiral staircase was one of the most magnificent sites I have ever seen. Now you can visit it and everything is new, gloriously spectacular, and walkable.
