Charles Ramsey: Philly Top Cop

June 27, 2008 - Police highway patrol and Philadelphia Police Chief, Charles Ramsey have a photo opp. in front of the Art Museum. I stumbled upon this by accident. I drove into the city to do some biking and saw all of the police activity.

What I found out later was that three brand new Harley motorcycles were donated to the Philadelphia Police Highway Patrol Friday.

The motorcycles were gifts from Bernard and Harriett Gross, James Binns, and Philadelphia residents.

This is why it pays to have your camera at all times… I think I got some great shots.

The Jumpers

I was mountain biking through Valley Green along the Wissahickon Creek today.. stopped to take some photos of ducks, when I heard lound splashing coming from the creek.. turned around and saw these young adults base jumping from a bridge. These guys took about 4-5 jumps before the police showed up and ran them off. It’s against park regulations to jump off the bridge. I’ve got a short video of the police intervention but Flickr won’t take it.
