2/20/21 – Overhead Picture from “Such Great Heights” (+1 point for including biker)

On 2/20/1792 – The Postal Service Act, establishing the United States Post Office Department, is signed by President George Washington. 211 years later, one of my favorite albums – Give Up – was released by the band The Postal Service in 2003. On this album is a song called “Such Great Heights” and it is the theme for the photo hunt for the day.

On your ride, 229 years after the original Postal Service was created, take a creative photo from a high vantage point looking downwards, whether atop a bridge, overlook, or somewhere else that’ll give you a great overhead view. Bonus point if there is a clearly discernible biker in the photo. BTW, no selfies/danger pandas for this hunt.

Happy hunting!

Will the real deal work (besides Earth)? Sky map apps are super interesting…

Anyway, everyone’s new favorite planet Mars is visible on this clear and ruddy cold night.

The planets mural along the MBT! Has all the planets in order from Mercury to Uranus but seems to be missing Pluto or maybe it’s wrapped in the tentacle thingy at the end which I didn’t capture.

Well, Pluto, of course, is no longer a planet.

So we dissed the god of the dead and lord of the underworld, and now we wonder why all this (gestures at the world today) is going on?

I figured one of the bridges over the Schuylkill would be a good vantage point for this — I could find someone riding along the SRT. However, I didn’t realize that section (at least) wasn’t plowed, so bikes were a little hard to come by. Fortunately, I found a rider passing the “Trail Closed” sign.

I couldn’t do anything as cool with the shadows as the provided image, but I figure this is decent enough.

Not a great shot but there are two cyclists in the pic. Too cold and windy to stand much longer.

At risk of displaying my ignorance, what’s a danger panda?
