Description |
After the Convention Hall and the Cira Centre, I went to Saint Patrick's parade, to shoot some pictures there. I wasn't that lucky however. I don't know if I didn't choose a good spot or what, but I almost didn't get any good shot.
Something about the parade: Philadelphia's Saint Patrick's Parade is the second oldest in the States, having been performed since 1771. Boston's, the oldest one, began in 1737.
I took these pictures of trolleys in the parade because of my interest in colllecting evidence of how the first train wagons, trolleys and buses were modeled after houses (or were in any case a celebration of architecture). I think that's an amazing topic, and I am sure somebody has already written about it. I have thought a lot about it lately, and whenever I find evidences I am documenting.
