Welcome To The Thursday View

On Saturday before we visited the zoo Kim and I made a quick stop to check out what I call "the other side of the Farm Park". In reality it is simply another entrance to the Norristown Farm Park that happens to be at the end of a dead end  road. And at this entrance there is a bridge that goes over a set of railroad tracks that I do not believe to be in use anymore. Naturally I grabbed a shot or ten and today I share this one with you.

Welcome To The Daily View

Switching back to my Valley Forge trip last weekend I would like to share this railroad bridge with you. As you can see there is no clear path to the underpass. In fact the area is blocked off. But when I was a younger person this was not the case. There used to be a set of stairs leading to that right hand side tunnel that was meant for pedestrian traffic. One used to be able to pass under the bridge and get a very nice view of the Schuylkill River.

You can see I tried to add a bit of artistic flair. Nothing much but just a little something.

January 26, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Well here we are bracing ourselves for what cold be a major snowstorm. Here in the suburbs of Philadelphia we are right on the border of a small inconvenience to over a foot of accumulation. I am not sure of how this will time out so this morning when I went to work I brought my camera along just in case there was something interesting to shoot. As it turns out nothing really came up but I did grab a shot on the way in. Today's photo was shot from the side of the road. It was taken from a bridge that crosses over the Pennsylvania Turnpike and shows a railroad underpass. In fact it is the same freight rail line that I shared yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by and if you are in the snow zone please stay safe.

Until Next time...
