Pittsburgh Bridges Gallery 2

Bridge is the Weekly Photo Challenge.

I think I have enough bridge photographs to last all week. You’ve seen them before if you follow the blog.

In fact, I might get out and shoot some more bridges not part of my collection-yet.

One Word Friday

Needed a title for this graffiti on a bridge down by the Monongahela. One Word Friday seemed appropriate as I couldn’t post it for Wordless Wednesday.

Just wondering who was motivated and took the time to write this on the bridge.

I don’t think it is a band.

Pittsburgh Autumn in a Bright Light

Yesterday I photographed a few scenes in the drizzly rain. I posted Pittsburgh Autumn in a Dull Light.

Today it was bright and so I returned to the same spots. You can’t see how windy it was.

Thinking about how light affects the mood, color and feel of a photograph.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries

Boundaries. Some people have none.

The creator of the challenge Ben Huberman says,”This week, let’s explore the creative potential of limits, borders, and dividers of all types.”

Here are a few visible from the archives

Ohio River Fog Before Sunrise, Then Clear Reflections

Sunday morning I met my friend and her son to photograph his senior pictures at the boathouse where he rows.

It was foggy and felt like fall.

I could hear a tugboat chugging along the river but could just make out the lights. Not even an outline.

Then as the time passed the bridge was visible and the fog burned off. It was a beautiful morning.

Getting down to the river.

Pretty thick fog.

You can see the lights of the boat.

Can’t see the bridge

Front row seating on the Ohio River

Visible bridge now.

Daylight burned off the fog

Like a mirror, barely a ripple

Sun and light, reflections.

Ohio River Reflections

Ohio River Sky

With the fog burned off

What I saw when I drove home. Holy Family Wishing Well.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime

Photographing at night is one of my favorite things to do.

The city looks the most beautiful at night.

I scanned just a wee portion of my archives to get a representative sampling.

Nighttime- quiet, dark. Sparkly, twinkly too as I seem to shoot a lot of lights.

Nightime.

Anna and Maura and Henry getting ready to go to sleep.

The city lit up feels magical to me. Every November they have Light Up Night

Love to photograph the decorated Christmas houses at night.

St. Paul Cathedral – Oakland Pittsburgh

Balloon Man at Little Italy Days in Bloomfield

The barn at Bobbijo and Tim’s wedding.

I posted this or a similar one for fire and ice. Definitely nighttime

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

Sounds like a cinch, doesn’t it? From lines to patterns? Organic might have been a better route. Nature.

After reading about this week’s challenge and viewing some fellow bloggers posts, here’s my gallery.

It was suggested to go with the “tiled mosaic gallery” so I thought I’d try it.
