The Rocky step kicks

Inspirited by Hive account@kirkins's wonderful gifs, I used the iPhone's Bounce feature to create this loop from a live photo with Hive account@uttonio when she and my other younger sister Ngoc visited me a few weeks back. Can you tell which one is me?

I discovered the Bounce feature totally by accident. To activate Bounce, while at your live photo, swipe up. You'll find it there with other features including Loop and Long Exposure - which is great for waterfalls.)

I only recently learned about the Rocky films and the ascending scene with the iconic two-arms-raised salute that gave these steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art the monkier Rocky steps. Apparently, Ngoc had seen one of the movies when I asked her. The museum even has a statue of this fictional character located just east of the steps.

Among many landmarks, this is one of my most favorite views of Philly, early morning or late at night. In fact, if you're here at night after the museum's closed, you can park for free in the parking lot behind the museum. I would argue the city skyline at night is just as good, if not more dazzling.

And yes, our parents sent all of us to Taekwondo when we were small.

Enjoy!
