Lambertville/ New Hope, NJ. 13 Church St.
On the day before I took this picture, there was someone looking up at the power lines when I took a look to see what he was looking at. It was a squirrel who had been shocked on the power line and was stuck there, melted into the line insulation, hanging head downwards. Though I can't say I was happy to see a squirrel go before it was his time, the position he was stuck in was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a while -- he was splayed out and hanging head downwards, held onto the power line like a trapeze artist. I still have no idea why I didn't take a picture of that. 13 Church St. again.
Rock climbing in Pennsylvania. Quite a climb, and certainly something out of the ordinary.
Same rock, more height.
Riding in Pennsylvania, near 5pm, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this extremely rare Yenko SC. The owner was just getting out of work and was getting inside it. I was quite surprised when he told me he used it as his every day commuter. He was nice enough to get out of it so I could snap this picture. Very rare car.
Once in Philadelphia, a fellow cyclist was nice enough to give me an abbreviated cyclist's tour of some of the sights. While on the way to some of the spots we did a quick Rocky Balboa tour.
Here's Mickey's gym, (unfortunately in disrepair.)
The pet shop where Adrian worked.
Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Rocky's steps.
Independence Hall. The structure on the left of this picture is the post 9/11 enclosure for the Liberty Bell. It's surrounded by park rangers and there's quite a line leading up to it.
