The fog surrounding Philadelphia transforms the city and surroundings with a metallic silver hue. These sights were photographed from the opposite side of the Delaware river on the shores of National Park, New Jersey.
National Park is a great place to watch planes arriving and departing from Philadelphia International Airport.
Cee’s Foto Challenge this week is Metal. Think how many metal water towers we pass each day, never notice, but depend upon for their durability.
National Park, New Jersey, Red Bank Battlefield
“The Red Bank Battlefield is located along the Delaware River in National Park, New Jersey. It was the location of the Battle of Red Bank in the American Revolutionary War on October 22, 1777.”-Wikipedia
Red Bank Battlefield is an interesting piece of history located along the Delaware River across from the City of Philadelphia.
The park has a long stretch of walkways along the Delaware giving those strolling beside the riverbank a good view of passing ships, tugboats and barges.
The piers also provide a perfect view of airplanes taking off from the Philadelphia International Airport.
Red Bank Battlefield Park has a great picnic area with pavilions and playgrounds for children. For more information and directions to the park check out these links:

My husband I recently took our grandsons to the Philadelphia Museum of Natural Science. We had a grand time. My only complaint…it’s a little dark inside.
My favorite exhibit was the butterfly house. It’s amazing to feel butterflies flitting right by your head.
The museum has a dinosaur hall too…quite a few dinosaur skeletons on display.
There is even an Egyptian mummy on display.
On the way home we said “Hello!” to William Penn. It was a perfect day in the City of Philadelphia.
