Time has a way of playing tricks on the mind. It was only three weeks ago that I passed through the City of Brotherly Love on a frigid day in January. It seems like ages.
Inspired by the solid steel and concrete, of the urban landscape, I took the photo quickly, from moving traffic. I was on my way to visit the new Museum of the American Revolution.
The image sits in contrast, with the idea of fleeting time. It is symbolic of the ongoing Revolution, in the U.S.A.
