The Sun Also Sets

Your Center City Correspondent is a sucker for redheads, big churches and sunsets. The less said about redheads the better, I’ve already written about churches, so this must be about sunsets. Mrs. CCC and I have traveled the globe to witness sunsets; two of our favorites we’ve seen are from the Eiffel Tower and at the beach in Naples, FL. But let me clue you in to the best-kept secret in Philadelphia – we have beautiful sunsets here too. I guess it’s an Acres of Diamonds thing. The best place to view the sun going down is at the Water Works behind the Art Museum. The sun sets downriver, behind Fairmount Park, and with the Waterworks in the foreground and Boathouse row off to the right, it’s a real pleasure on a summer evening. Give it a try some night.
