In the back basin of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, you’ll find a number of ships in reserve or mothballed status. Fortunately, they’re not needed as intended. Still, sad to see them laid up. Here’s a look at a few on a clear morning.
Eventually they will be sold or scrapped. I’m sure their former crews have many stories to tell.
Readers of my blog will note recent posts about bicycling. Well, not only have the distance of the rides been extended beyond 70 miles, there have been some cyclocross type of additions to the course. Here’s a photo from the Philadelphia Art Museum steps:
Yes, those are the famous steps from the movie, Rocky. At this point, the bike was shouldered and carried up for the following view:
Next time, there will be no pause to snap photos. These type of cross training activities make for a more interesting and challenging ride. Plus, they’re tons of fun. Enjoy the ride; share the road.
There’s an aircraft carrier at rest in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Been tied up there for several years now. Finally got around to taking some photos and video. Here’s some live footage with an American Airlines jet overhead:
Aircraft on final to Philadelphia International Airport pass overhead, which made for an interesting view. More photos from this visit to come soon. Stay tuned.
At Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, there are several alternative energy installations. One of them is this huge solar array that hangs on the south side of the stadium.
Not sure how much electricity that generates, but it’s certainly quite large. You can barely see the vertical windmills on the top left corner of the array. Might have to check into this and see how much juice they get. It would be interesting to know.
