Back in the 1950's my maternal and paternal families immigrated to Harrisburg and the surrounding areas. My maternal family immigrated to the United States from Italy and my paternal family immigrated to the United States from Germany. The city itself is a big mixing pot of all kinds of different nationalities which is really nice!
The Susquehanna River runs along the west side of the city. Many people refer to Camp Hill as the west shore and Harrisburg as the east shore with the river running between to the two cities. City Island sits in the middle of the Susquehanna River and hosts the Harrisburg Senators baseball games, a miniature golf course and other attractions for residents and tourists to enjoy. It's the home base for the Susquehanna Riverboat too!
Today I wanted to share a nice photograph that I took of the Susquehanna River, the river bridges and the Harrisburg city skyline that I took a few months ago. I took the photograph while standing on the bridge and shooting my camera towards the city. If you're familiar with the area, I'm sure you'll recognize the bridges and high-rise buildings. As you can see, it was a picture-perfect weather day!
