About the Image(s)
I chose the coldest and windiest day to stop at the Pagoda in Reading, PA.
Because it was so cold, I only took a quick video… and hope to go back!
The Pagoda is a novelty building, built atop the south end of Mount Penn overlooking Reading, Pennsylvania, United States. It has been a symbol of the city for more than a century.
History
Completed in 1908 at a cost of $50,000, this pagoda was intended to be the hotel/restaurant centerpiece of a luxury resort. When plans for the rest of the resort were abandoned, the 7-story wooden building on 10 acres of land was donated to Reading in 1911. It is now part of the Mount Penn Preserve, 1,595 acres of municipally-owned land.

I don't know about cropping off the top. It seems to make the image incomplete. But I do like the closer in look, showing all the detail in the roof.
If you went back in the fall perhaps the trees would be colorful?
And maybe try BnW? not too much color in the winter anyway.   Posted: 02/05/2025 04:33:20
