Another of the wonderful ships at Penns Landing in Philadelphia
Meet the Moshulu, a square rigged ship built in 1904 that has literally been all over the world map. Since coming to Philly in 1975 it is regarded as one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia.
This shot was taken just before sun-up which really accentuated the sky in the background. I worked to find the correct color temperature in Lightroom and once I found it the color popped. I may be going back to this location in a few weeks with some fine photographers over at the New Jersey Photographer community on Google+. Check us out.
I think it a travesty that it no longer sails. From a photography POV is there somewhere just behind where you were standing where you can get up HIGH so as to chop the jetties out of the shot. I really like the angle and would hate to lose that!
Maybe from the crows nest of the warship moored in front of it.
The angle makes it stately; the evening colors allow the rigging to stand out, but without the harshness of a daytime sky.
Around the world nothing! It was also in The Godfather 2! (as the ship that brings young Vito Corleone to America.) 🙂 I always wanted to eat there.
Love the color and glow of the sky in the background with the ship standing out in all its glory.
Beautiful color!
Thank You!
Beautiful photograph, Mike! Amazing colors as well.
