Re: GESO - Walk Along Kelly Drive
Thanks, Alan! There is abundant grit, grime, poverty and decay in Philadelphia. I just don’t choose to shoot there.

Re: GESO - Walk Along Kelly Drive
Everything in Philly seems to be so posh & manicured, a pleasure to behold and you have captured my sentiments very well. Sadly, Urban Decay is rapidly reducing my part of the world to slum status, apparently of no concern to the current powers that be. However, it is not so all over Africa - Kigali in Rwanda being a notable exception.

Rowing and racing 8-person shells on the river is a Big Thing, and the boathouses in the first three pics house the clubs that constitute the “Schuylkill Navy.” The shells are mostly on racks next to the buildings (as in the second photo), though some of the clubs have boathouses capable of storing the craft.

GESO - Walk Along Kelly Drive
Kelly Drive is a curving, pleasant road (except for a few would-be Formula-1 race-car drivers) that follows the east bank of the Schuylkill River through Philadelphia. It has a nice foot/bicycle path, that we followed a couple of mornings ago. Rowing and racing 8-person shells on the river is a Big Thing, and the boathouses in the first three pics house the clubs that constitute the “Schuylkill Navy.” The shells are mostly on racks next to the buildings (as in the second photo), though some of the clubs have boathouses capable of storing the craft. The last five pics are other things that caught my eye on the way. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/July-2023/Kelly-Drive-7-22-23/ Plaudits and brickbats equally welcome.
