Waterfall: Wissahickon Creek, East Falls, Manayunk, Philadelphia

 The waterfall view from Ridge Avenue in Manyunk/East Falls Philadelphia on the Wissahickon Creek.

I was REALLY looking forward to THIS Photoshoot! After ALL those storms we had this week, I figured this would be great!
But, alas, once I got there, it looked like a drought! WHAT???
After all those floods I trudged through every morning just to get to work, then THIS?
Even as I write this, there's a massive storm & floods everywhere today! But, on Saturday, THIS is what was there.
Dought-looking trickles!

Sunday Morning on Market Street Philadelphia Skyscrapers

 Sunday morning, last week, I went to Philly to rush run some errands. Brought my camera, and this is what happened.

It was the day before my birthday, which by the way, wasn't so great...

The PECO Building!

LOVE Park in Philadelphia

Yeah, I did a quick photoshoot in Philadelphia last Sunday morning.

I was shooting for the yahoo Weather App/Project Weather.

I used a blue gradient filter in these to help enhance the sky colors, and the clouds.

 The really nice homeless man shot some photos of me. He kept insisting to, but I didn't have any money.

I've been on a diet all summer.

Project Weather: Yahoo Weather App For Android Platform Smartphones

Project Weather:
Yahoo Weather App For Android Platform Smartphones

I'm  pretty proud about this! I've used Yahoo weather apps for years on "My Yahoo!", Yahoo! Messenger, and since Feb. I've used Yahoo's Weather App for Android.

I heard about it because my Niece uses a Yahoo Weather App on her iPhone and said it was her favorite. I actually use multiple weather apps, I use the one my Galaxy S came with, 2 apps by the weather channel, and the Yahoo app.

The Yahoo app is the nicest one because you can see more weather reports in multiple places, it's programmable in a better way, and it has lovely photos.

I started to notice there weren't many photos, and often times it would use wrong photos, or photos from somewhere nearby, but still not quite right... but, other times there would be new apps. Also, not all the photos are the best, yet there were many of very high quality.

I'd assumed there ought to be more photos to Philadelphia, yet there really weren't, but there also weren't much for Boston either...


Then, I found out you could submit your own photos. When I saw the level of quality of who was submitting photos, I wasn't sure... But, I tried anyway.


So far, they've accepted my photos for Philadelphia, Boston, North Weymouth MA, South Weymouh MA.

So, I feel pretty good about that.
