Headed home Thanksgiving night. On our way to cross the Homestead Grays Bridge over the Monongahela.
I pulled over to the curb to stop and take the lighted bridge down the hill.

Saturday night, October 2nd, Grandson Jack (14) shot the city from atop of Mt. Washington.
City lights reflected in the Monongahela River. The family was in town for Michael’s rowing event.
Asian Lantern Festival at the Pittsburgh Zoo
The Asian Lantern Festival at the Pittsburgh Zoo Now through October 30th. This is just a sneak peek. Steve and I were headed to get gas and I was able to pull over to get a quick peek through the Zoo fence.
Under the Bridge
Homestead Grays Bridge, built in 1936, was formerly called the Homestead High Level Bridge. I Pulled into a parking space to shoot the underbelly Wednesday night. The blue light against the night sky. The bridge spans the Monongahela River but this part is over the Waterfront shopping area.
“It is notable as the first bridge to incorporate the Wichert Truss, which uses a quadrilateral shape over each support, into its design. This made the truss statically determinate, so that forces in the structural members could be calculated.” Wikipedia
A 2017 blog post I did of bridges going over the Monongahela shows a different view of this same bridge.

9/11 Memorial Guest Blog
My sister Mary photographed this
9/11 Symbol of Hope New York City
At the base is a 35 page metal book with the names inscribed of those who died 9/11
“….. is called ‘9/11 Cross, A Symbol of Hope’.This statute is located near St. Paul’s Chapel of Trinity Church near the 9/11 memorial. This statute represents the wreckage of the twin towers forming a cross from the aftermath of 9/11. The original cross was moved in the 9/11 Museum. This cross was sculpted by Jon Krawczyk. Cardinal Egan picked him to sculpt the new cross. ”
