Last year was our 25th wedding anniversary. Those of you who were in the original MF3D Folio II might remember my honeymoon stereos from Ireland. For this trip we went to Trenton, NJ, where my brother-in-law (who married us) is currently a Bishop of the Episcopal church, so Liz could play the pipe organ there. And then it was on to Philadelphia.

This Roman Catholic cathedral was opposite our hotel in Philadelphia. We hadn’t really thought to try and get in see the organ here. We did see the Wanamaker Organ, but I didn’t think I could get a good exposure without a tripod.

My slides in this loop show a walk on a nice day in Philadelphia to City Hall.

This is Swann Memorial Fountain in Philadelphia. Several of Philadelphia’s museums are located around this square.

This scan shows the least intrusive vignetting I had from my lens shades on this trip. Luckily the 6×4.5 mounts allow me to crop it out in this case.

This is Love Park in Philadelphila. The statue in the foreground is very similar to ones I’m more familiar with seeing back home in New York. The traditional Philadelphia Love statue can just barely be seen on the other side of the fountain. It faces the wrong direction to get City Hall in the background.
