"I SPY" in the Sky - Photo ID Scavenger Hunt
When was the last time you went "sightseeing" in historic downtown Tamaqua, PA? Did you notice the beautiful architectural details that are part of the landscape?
Well known Tamaqua photographer, Joseph Matukonis, known as Owl Creek Joe, spent a few weeks walking around and looking up. Photographs from his "sightseeing" adventure in historic downtown Tamaqua, PA, were the basis for a contest.
A catalog of the images can be printed or viewed here, (a large pdf file 940kb) and are also available on the Tamaqua Chamber's FaceBook page.
Special thanks to Joe Matukonis, Photos by Owl Creek Joe, for his generosity and creative eye.
Put on your thinking caps and get out the walking shoes and start looking up! Have fun and enjoy the beauty of our historic buildings here in historic Tamaqua.
Be sure to check out more photos by Owl Creek Joe here. You can contact him at ocjoe@ptd.net
