Default Philly Naked Bike Ride! Post 762

Ref the pic in Post 762 - hats off to stevin6 for finding pics likely from the same event - the Philly Naked Bike Ride! The hint that is was in Philadelphia from poster VR2 was huge, of course.

To place the location a little more accurately, StreetView on Google Earth from 39° 58'0.22" N 75° 7'45.54"W looking through the trees across the Delaware River yields about the same relationship between the two tallest buildings on the skyline in the background in the pic. That seems to be the Camden County City Hall on the right and what looks like a phone company switching building with the antenna at the top at the corner of Haddon Ave at Federal Street on the left .

The pic was likely taken at Penn Treaty Park in Philadelphia looking pretty much south. I could not really locate the spot for certain with the accuracy I would have liked but I believe, based on the green paint on the crumbling asphalt in the pic, that it was somewhere around 39°57'55.42"N 75° 7'46.47"W - near the green paint area visible in the current Google Earth image.
