A couple weeks ago my company had our annual company picnic at a Camden Riversharks baseball game.  Sitting in my seat I had a great view of the Philadelphia skyline. The Sun was going down and the game didn't start yet so I was shooting away!!  Turn out pretty neat!!  

Oh, by the way if you look just above the tent and to the right of the flag you can see the William Penn statue that sits on top of Philadelphia City Hall.  There was a so called agreement that no building could be taller then Billy Penn.  Well, as you can see that agreement has been broken.  The funny thing is that ever since the first building built that went higher then Mr. Penn no major sports team in Philly has won a championship!!  It is know around this part of our world as " The Curse of Billy Penn "!!  Below is a link about the curse.  They even made a movie about it!!

I never knew about the curse, I kind of hope the Steelers have to play the Eagles in the Superbowl!!!!!!!!!
