Beautiful picture! I guess it takes a visitor to Philly to point to the lovely parts that we take for granted. Too busy eating cheese steaks I guess. When my brother  and I were kids we’d ride our bikes from our very citified row house to the Wissahickon and explore the trails, including one mad adventure of riding my bike across one of the falls with my brother on the handlebars – something I would have killed our kids and granddaughter for if we ever found out they’d done the same reckless stunt. Thanks for the picture!
