Fort Pitt Bridge

Sorry for my absence.  I’ll explain when we see each other next.  Until then, here are a couple photos I took this morning while out on a photo walk with Brad and Dave.

Rays of Sunshine

Arriving at downtown Pittsburgh from this bridge is one of the few great city entrances.  You can’t see the city driving towards it due to Mt. Washington and then you enter the tunnel, which is maybe a mile lone (not totally sure on that distance).  As soon as you exit the tunnel, you are immediately on Fort Pitt Bridge and the city explodes into view.  I’ve never found anything like it in any other city.

My Morning View

After months of nothing but hiding at home and going to work, I finally got off my butt to take some photos.  Gosh, I missed it so much…. I think the stress of world events and my work have just made me tired.  It’s probably made most people tired.  So, I got out with Brad and took this photo this morning.  After I got home, MJ and I did a little yard work.  Afterward, I went with Blair to shoot trap.  Plus, MJ and I got a little time together as well.  And we capped off the day by watching a corny romantic movie.  It was a good Sunday!!

Fort Pitt

Or what’s left of it….  The original British fort from the mid-1700s during the French and Indian War was constructed in the area that is now downtown Pittsburgh.  The outline of the Fort Pitt walls are all that remain of the fort, which sits inside Point State Park.  This is a great city park at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers and the start of the Ohio river (thus 3 Rivers).
