Anyway, here a few shots from around City Hall, Rittenhouse Square, Penn's campus, and a more south-ish residential area.
This cold is getting ridiculous. My northeast blood cannot handle much more of this.

Wintery scenes from philly
What a packed long weekend it's been! Visiting Philly was a lot of fun, though I took a lot fewer pictures than I would have liked - I blame it on the cold. My fingers can only handle so much numbness. Today was a pretty sad day, as my nifty fifty kicked the bucket in a horrible accident involving a half-eaten piece of chocolate... Luckily my 50mm 1.4 is still very much alive, and an evening trip to B&H resulted in a new lens toy, which will be revealed in a later post I'm sure. For now, any guesses? :)

haha how did you ruin your lens with the chocolate?
ReplyDeletethe pacific northwest is much warmer in the winter...come visit! :)
Do you find yourself seeing a place differently every time you return?
ReplyDeleteGlad the 50 is okay. I am assuming all appendages (and associated parts) are still attached and working properly.
Ooh, okay, okay, guess the toy. Um, a 35, Lensbaby, Raynox...
@Todd, ah I should have made it clear that I refer to my first lens, the 50mm f1.8 as the nifty fifty, and that one is very much dead. :(
ReplyDeletebeautiful wintery images. even though i was in philly only once, i remember how photogenic and charming the city was. Come to think of it, I never blogged my pics from my trip there. Mmmm... I think I will in the next week or so =)
ReplyDeleteLet me guess, you got the 35mm 1.4! that's the baby i want!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful shots as usual! i love the tones
ReplyDeleteTilt shift?!
ReplyDeleteah, canon term, lost in translation. sorry to hear that. second one i've heard eat it in a month...
ReplyDeleteoh, how i wish we had snow here. :( i'll never be able to take shots like these.
ReplyDeletealso, my money for your new lens is on the canon 85/1.4. (or maybe that's just me projecting.)
beautiful, love the first photo especially.
ReplyDeletesorry about your fifty but can't wait to see the results of your new toy :)
Great winter tones Alice!
ReplyDeleteLet me think...nifty fifty is gone...uhm...are you thinking to buy a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.2L ? :-)
Ciao!

ReplyDeletesorry about your lens, have fun with the new toy
Ops, this morning I was quite sleepy...so, let me guess...your new gear is a 35mm or the wonderful 85mm??? :-P
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i love the rittenhouse square area. it is so lovely. i'm very sad that my friends who lived there are now in connecticut. philly is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely captures, Alice!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent - your view is amazing. I always feel l am right there with you.
amazing photos, my friend.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear about the new toy.
love love these shots.
Such beautiful photos and truly an emotional relief after the images of tragedy here in Australia with flooding lately. I am guessing you got a lensbaby! They are great fun!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! I think Philly will be in my dreams tonight, as I head to bed after reading this post...
ReplyDeleteomg, these are gorgeous! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteEvery single picture here can be used as wallpapers! lovely photographs as always. :)
ReplyDeletePretty! My best friend lives in Philly, & I'd love to visit - but not when it's so cold!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Alice. Looks like all that pain and numbness really paid off!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on my blogs so I'm not sure if you've already announced it yet but I'll take a stab at it - you said "toy" so I'm going to guess a Lensbaby.
