Logan Circle and Environs
Logan Circle was looking especially lovely with all the tulip trees in bloom around the fountain. Their blossoms are purple and delicate like upside down wisteria. Logan Circle marks the beginning of a line of museums situated artfully along a lovely parkway, including the Franklin Institute and culminating with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Salvador Dali was featured. Some people did not pay enough attention to those events which might feature the fourth dimension and sell out, so an opportunity to be released from the same old three dimensions was lost. Oh well.
There's Salvador peeking around the corner at City Hall. where a larger than life Frank Rizzo waves in a bronzley way.
There is an astonishing amount of public art in Philadelphia. I missed the mural tour because it conflicted with the picnic, but I did manage to shoot one.
It was tucked among the surrounding buildings so artfully that I couldn't see who painted it. And then there was Robert Indiana's famous love piece replete with Falun Gong and fountain.
And finally Claus Oldenburg's Split Button in front of the Penn library
Another view
That's quite enough resizing and clicking for the evening.
