"Place, with a trace of humanity" Photography/Photo of the Day/Pittsburgh

Roberto Clemente/Sixth Street Bridge Sunday Night

A dry ride home despite reports of severe thunderstorms. It was blue sky and white fluffy clouds, sun, intense green from the rain.  When I got back to the city it had gotten dark.  I pulled over by the Renaissance Hotel on Duquesne Blvd and caught the bridge.(Click to learn more about “self-anchored suspension”)

It was okay but I drove around the block for both arches, shooting through the windshield while sitting at the red light.

    I remember when working at the Renaissance a man standing at the top of the bridge threatening to jump off. Apparently he did it all the time.
