I have a midterm project to do for my photography class. I need to photograph public art in Philadelphia, some of which is located in and around Fairmount Park, Kelly Drive, and the Art Museum area. These are a few of the photos I took yesterday while out and about looking for public art.
The Schuylkill River from Fairmount Park
The Pilgrim by Augustus Saint-Gaudens
You can find this guy right behind the boathouses on Boathouse Row.

This guy can be found at the north end of the reviewing stands on the river side of Kelly Drive.

The geese along Kelly Drive were huge, they could be mistaken for turkeys they were so big.
General Frederich Von Steuben by Warren Wheelock
This guy can be found on the hill, on the south side of Kelly Drive, west of 26th St. behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Marquis de Lafayette by Raoul Josset
This guy can also be found on the hill, on the south side of Kelly Drive, west of 26th St. behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The rich blue color you captured on the water with the two geese is beautiful.
Thanks Tracie. It’s my favorite photo from that day.
So lovely – even the geese, and I hate geese.
Thanks! How can you hate geese?
I find that pilgrim very imposing. Maybe even a little scary.
