Duquesne Incline Still in Service

Public transportation still running in the city.

Photographed Tuesday morning from the Duquesne Incline Platform. No one else was there

I’d seen the fog over city as I crossed Liberty Bridge. It had lifted when I arrived after my drive.

I’d gotten the call that my iPad was ready for pick up after being repaired. It’s been there for weeks. To get it or not was the question. I paid over the phone and only Shannon was there working as they Tastar Data Systems opened Tuesday morning at 9. I debated whether I should drive over to Library Road or not but decided to have the iPad at home in my possession again. Face timing family and friends.

Sheltering in place makes you appreciate what one took for granted before. Running errands.

Our three rivers.

Allegheny River and the Monongahela River meet at the Point to form the Ohio River.

Tugboats and Barges in Daylight

Neville Island. Shot Saturday during the retirement party at a friend’s home along the Ohio River.

Maybe you saw yesterday’s night photography of the barges and tugboats. Those were taken handheld with Canon 24-70 L series lens. The reflection of the lights on the dark river at night are more dramatic but the daylight shots taken with the Canon 70-200 L series let you see the details and appreciate the size of the vessels. They move at a fast clip.

NIghtfall. The bonfire.

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.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge

Converge.

Ben Huberman’s challenge of the week. He says, “Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects, and people come together.”

And what classic photo from my Pittsburgh archives could I choose, except where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River converge to create the great Ohio River? Three Rivers!

Anna and Lala converge at james’ parents’ farm

Ocean and sand converge at sunrise. St. George Island, Florida

Double Yellow Lines converge at Little Italy Days in Bloomfield.

Railroad tracks appear to converge even though we know they are parallel. Ohio.

Perhaps this one is for MERGE where the traffic attempts to converge

Geometric lines of light, Market Square. CONGREGATION kinetic interactive video art installation

The Beatles song Come Together comes to mind
