Your gallery does a wonderful job in displaying the essence of that remarkable structure. For those of us who occasionally drive in downtown Philly, City Hall is right there, smack in the middle of the street, forcing traffic around it. With all the traffic, one is forced to stare at this massive icon, and enjoy the view.
