Iron Making at Carrie Furnace 1884-1982
Tuesday, a Few Hours Apart
Looking across the Monongahela River Carrie Furnace Rivers of Steel “Towering 92 feet over the Monongahela River, constructed of 2.5″ thick steel plate and lined with refractory brick, Carrie Furnaces #6 and #7 are extremely rare examples of pre-World War II iron-making technology”

Rainbow over Carrie Furnace Caught by Maura
We were headed over the Rankin Bridge on our way to the Waterfront. It started to rain while the sun was out. I pulled into the Rivers of Steel parking lot when the rainbow appeared. We walked across the wet grass and I gave Maura my phone and she captured the rainbow!
That’s the Monongahela River and the structure is Carrie Furnace a National Historic Landmark

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.

Same day, with the trees and I got out of my car to photograph
Today’s shot of the Homestead Smokestacks
Yesterday in the dull light. The overcast day seems to make the colors more vibrant.
and Three Red Trees

Yesterday in the rain
and look what happened on my way home? CLOUDS! Lots of clouds arrived in about fifteen minutes time.
Pittsburgh Autumn in a Dull Light
Overcast.
Rain.
Diffused light.
I was down in Homestead at the Waterfront, having been up the hill in West Mifflin.
Shopped for flannel sheets. Readying for the cold weather.
And though the day was rainy, I thought I’d shoot to include the changing leaves, give a sense of time and place.
Homestead Stacks
at the Red Light I saw this tree.
And just for fun, closer to home, the dog in the passenger seat signaling a right turn?

Return and photograph a scene you have shot before- a different day, different weather, different angle, different light
