One sight I wanted to see in person during my trip to Philly was the
LOVE Statue. Designed by Robert Indiana in 1976, the statue is located in
Love Park near JFK Plaza. I knew there was a replica in NYC but had yet to see one up close. I couldn't leave without a few shots of this iconic piece of art.
Sitting among the statue were people seeking refuge from the heat, dipping their feet in the spouting fountain among the plaza. The atmosphere surrounding the park was filled with smiles as couples stepped up to the statue to take a photo together... a fitting gesture.
Outfit:
Bag - Primark
While taking some pictures, mist from the water sprayed in the air - and I couldn't help but feel a little silly, but in a good way. Although this may just be a piece of art to some, for me it a reminder to celebrate the things and people I love. And now, I get to have fun memories of my trip to Philly - especially the time I stood by LOVE... with my love.
