The Ayer Building at night! If you've been following my blog, you know that I enjoyed shooting this building in daylight, and at that time I noticed the spotlights above these large figures. I just had to return to see how it all looked at night, and I wasn't disappointed. On the technical side, I shot in Av, or aperture priority mode, which tends to give lights that starburst effect. This photo reinforces one of my shooting mantras: while in Philadelphia, look up! JKEL

Jim...who are the figures on this building?

They're art deco/egyptian type figures holding the open book of truth. This building used to be home to a major advertising firm. I guess their message was one of "truth in advertising". Egyptian themes were popular in this era following the discovery of King Tut's tomb.
