Full Moon Over Pittsburgh

Not Light Up Night tonight. My friend Ray called. Said there was a huge orange moon on the horizon but by the time I threw on my jeans, wool sweater, hat and scarf, drove up to Mt. Washington, the moon had risen and appeared off white. Clear, cold and windy, met two couples from Minneapolis on their way to the Macy’s Parade in NYC. Ray told them how to drive off the mountain to Fathead’s or Primanti’s on Carson Street. The city lights looked brighter to me than Friday night. It was an impromptu shooting session but a lot of fun. Posting the Radio Tower on Shiloh Street tomorrow.

Shot from the Duquesne Incline Observation Deck — The temperature dropped that twenty degrees they said it would....brrrrr. A clear night.

Pittburgh from the Air at Night

Taken Sunday 10-10-10 Through the airplane window, flying fast. One quick shot. Can you find any recognizable landmarks? Wish I could have a “do-over”- try again.

Pittsburgh from the Air at Night — Prepare for landing.

Fireworks Shot from Roberto Clemente Bridge & River (2 views)

Pirates game Saturday night, perfect weather, a Luke Bryan Concert after (had never heard of him but apparently I am the only one who has not) Fireworks by Zambelli. Won’t go into the details on the outcome of the game (OUCH) but a stunning display of color and sparkling light over the city.

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.

Night Game

Baseball game, almost summer. Lights in the city at night offer invitation.

Trees Before Leaves

J drove me to this little park in Aspinwall, overlooking the Highland Park Bridge. No dogs allowed so she waited in the car. Shooting into the sun, the timing was off, so blocked the sun with a trunk. Plan to shoot the bridge from this vantage point a different day.

Before the trees sprout leaves, sunlight through the branches — Sunlight shines through the tree branches, impending Spring.

North Shore Riverwalk and Fort Duquesne Bridge

You can see the light poles partially submerged in the foreground, a random duck, the edge of grass meets the Allegheny River. Shot Sunday evening. They say the worst is over now, the 10th St. Bypass reopened as the riverwater receded in the night. A family of bicyclers were checking the flooding at different points and said in front of Alcoa upriver the water was higher. At this particular spot it was quiet, no rushing sounds. Get the specs on all the Bridges and Tunnels of Allegheny to learn the difference between a steel tied arch bridge and a steel bowstring arch bridge.

10th Street Bypass to Reopen by Morning Rush Hour

The Allegheny River to the right, flowing under the bridges. And leaking onto the road. This section of road has been in several movies filmed in Pittsburgh. Sunday night so not much traffic. Hopped out at the end of 7th Street Bridge. Caught the roadsigns’ reflection.

Allegheny River Flooding onto 10th St Bypass Pittsburgh — Not deep but flooded with Allegheny River water. Roberto Clemente Bridge on the right.

Gateway Clipper Ship on Allegheny River- City of Pittsburgh at Dusk

GatewayClipperonAllegheny

A beautiful night at the Pirates Game with good friends. And the Bucs won (8-18-09). When the Gateway Clipper ship cruised by, I remembered driving Mark to the wharf and how he used to work, answering calls to book cruises, take the reservations, sell wine and cheese packages. A nice light, just before dark.
