View from the 39th Floor

Description

The sister of one of our photo club members has an office on the 39th floor of the building directly across from Philadelphia's City Hall. She was kind enough to meet us there on a Sunday afternoon and arrange for us to have our photographic way. It's a view I had never seen, so I'm sharing it here. Ben Franklin Bridge and the Delaware River can be seen in the background. William Penn tops City Hall.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 35.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D Mark II

I worked a half block away, but my office was only on the 15th floor. Could not see the river for sure! #11300612

Oh Wow, this is quite impressive Michelle. It's like standing there on top and seeing the view as seen by William Penn. It is quite breath-taking. #11300666
