The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMoA) is one of the iconic landmarks in the city of Philadelphia. The wing on the right has the Western Civilization sculpture, although it remains the only pediment with an adornment. Some of the bronze griffins are also visible on the roof. The building was completed in 1928.

I drove up to Philly for a business user conference the next day. It had been raining most of the day, but as I arrived close to midnight the rain stopped for just a little bit. The late hour made parking easy and I pretty much had the place to myself to set up a tripod and take some photos. Of course, I also ran up the steps, Rocky style, even in the wet. At the bottom of this frame is an etched stone where Rocky stood in the famous scene, looking down Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards Logan Square and Philadelphia City Hall.
