When you drive past and the scene sticks in your mind –
you make a turn at the light and swing into the gas station to drive back and photograph –
with the iPhone as camera at home

A Pittsburgh Wall We Know and Love (and a Couple of our Regular Retaining Walls)
A very special wall– Forbes Field.
The remains.
Forbes Field is long gone (1972)
-but the wall where the1960 World Series was won by Bill Mazeroski’s homerun stands.
It’s called the Greatest Homerun Ever. You can watch it at YouTube here
And the retaining walls of Pittsburgh are featured prominently in Rick Sebak‘s excellent video 25 Things I Like About Pittsburgh available for viewing on Youtube for a short time.
You can’t believe how many retaining walls there are in every neighborhood of the city.

Rain on the St. Patrick’s Parade Doesn’t Dampen Pittsburgh Irish Day Celebration
Saturday moring around nine, I was driving through the Strip District and saw green in every direction.
Ahhh, St.Patrick’s Day Parade!
How could I have forgotten. Parked the car and got out in the rain and realized all I had was my cell phone camera.
Everyone was so nice when I asked if I could photograph them. The rain didn’t dampen their spirits.

300 members but with the rain not sure how many would show
