No, this is not a street in Paris!
----
This is Old Town, Philadelphia--a neighborhood where Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and all of the Founding Fathers lived and hung out. Betsy Ross's house is around the corner, and Christ Church is up the road a bit.

The tall young man dressed in blue is my step Grandson, Sean, who took me to see his favorite Philly sites on Friday. We had such fun!

Michelle - I just love capturing images like this of Phil (or whoever else is with me!) when I'm walking down the footpath!! ;o)This scene is really lovely...and both images are excellent...but, like others, I think your painterly effects one is my favourite!! :o)
It sounds as though your step-grandson, Sean, is a great travel guide!! ;o) Is he studying, or what does he do...that he was able to take the time? #8932626
