You are Loved - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Someone over the previous few days chalk painted stenciled "You are Loved more than you know" on a pylon on the North Shore. Most friendly piece of graffiti i've encountered yet.

Monaca-Beaver Railroad Bridge in the Fog

Pittsburgh is unquestionably a beautiful city and it's no wonder that it seems that so many photographers concentrate on the city from all angles. I've decided to spread out and photograph more of the surrounding areas where the number of rail bridges, tunnels, and waterways is rather staggering. Western Pennslyvania is such a beautiful landscape.

Roberto Clemente Bridge In the Fog - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

I was passing through the city tonight when I noticed that the fog was heavy enough that the overlook I usually stop at was fogged in. So, instead, I went back down to the bank of the Allegheny River and took another shot of the Roberto Clemente Bridge from the North Shore. I think I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. The river was really smooth yet flowing pretty fast which made for interesting ice streaks.

Pittsburgh Steam - 02/17/2018

The recent flooding of the Allegheny and Mongehelea rivers lead to flooding of the Pittsburgh steam tunnels. The result was a HUGE cloud of steam rising between 6th and 7th Ave between the Heinz and Benedum Concert Halls. It looked like the apocalypse. Beautiful. Haunting. Surreal.

Pittsburgh Sunrise. Cloudy. Gray.

Pittsburgh is a cloudy city. Despite the clouds and never-ending gray, the city shines through as one of my most beautiful (though I may be biased) skylines in the country.

Sunset from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Few things are as beautiful as a sunset (or sunrise) over Pittsburgh. It's been a while since we've had the right clouds to get a really nice sunset, but last night it happened. This was the results. I think it works.

North Side of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

I absolutely love the view of the city from the Northside. It's more unusual than the normal views from the West End or Mt. Washington. I think I like the amount of layering of city.

Point State Park Fountain - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

After a significant delay, the main column of the fountain is back on. At sunset, it's beautiful.

Heinz Field - Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Heinz Field at night approximately 10 weeks out from opening day.

The Empty Hotel Room - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

This MIGHT be my favorite photo I've ever taken. This is certainly in the top 5.

Sunrise on the Allegheny River - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

I really have a hard time getting up early enough to get photos like this. When I do, it's always GLORIOUS.

Pittsburgh Highway North Bound

Pittsburgh's I-579 highway cuts through downtown in a spaghetti bowl thing. It makes traveling from points north to points east much easier than having to go around the point and having to deal with the two bridges and endless traffic headaches. From this vantage point one can see most of the skyscrapers, convention center, rail bridges, road bridges, Northside, etc.
