The Water Works by danette

The Water Works

The famed Water Works in Philadelphia. In the upper left is the Museum of Art. I loved all the architecture in Philadelphia.

This location is one of the squares on Monopoly!

Oh, this is one of my favorite parts of Philly. There is an excellent restaurant there, where the lite round canopies are. It looks so gorgeous during the twilight.

Beautiful Danette! With those pillared buildings you could almost think you were in Greece!

Just gorgeous. Well framed and executed.

I must remember to try to visit the restaurant and get one of these night shots next time I visit my best friend (a prof at Penn).

I'm confused about the Monopoly thing, though... I thought that was all based on Atlantic City?

@anazad511 I would have loved to have eaten at the restaurant. A few days in Philly is not enough!

@istacy1011 Thanks for the fav, Stacy. It was such a beautiful spot and I am glad we went at this time of the evening.

@ianrm Thank you for stopping by and your fav! It is greatly appreciated.


@bkbinthecity It is more amazing than the photo portrays. :-)

@mittens Yes, I had a great time. I would love to go back! So much to see.

@eyesmile Thanks so much for the fav, Gena!

@skipt07 I certainly loved all the columns everywhere throughout the city. Though I agree with your comment about Greece, I didn't know there was so much French architecture in the city. I almost thought I was in Paris.

@squamloon This was taken across the water from the restaurant, though I had taken one from that angle a few nights earlier. You are, of course, right that they named Monopoly after Atlantic City properties. The tour guide told us that three of the places were named after Philadelphia places since Charles Darrow was from Philly. Maybe it is an urban legend.
