Philadelphia Flower Show 2014 - Part 3

This third post of photos from our day trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show is dedicated to the sites along the walk between the parking garage and the Convention Center. The Roman Architecture course I am taking via Coursera has sensitized me….I’m noticing more architectural features of buildings. Maybe the theme for my next trip to downtown Philadelphia will be architecture. There are a lot of old and new buildings to see.

One disappointment is how hard it is to see the grandeur of buildings when they are crowded together. It is hard to get a perspective when the whole building cannot be seen without a lot of other clutter. The church on the corner across from the Convention Center is a case in point. The PARK sign looms large in the picture above with the complete steeple!

Then again - the parking garage beside the church allowed me a vantage point to capture some pictures of the church from 7 plus stories up. It’s easy to see some of the weathering of the façade!
