It’s been a while since I did a photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh. This photo is from just before the pandemic. It is weird how time seems to have changed speed during COVID. Some things appear to be going faster and some slower. The pandemic has negatively impacted my photography opportunities.
Regardless, I always liked this photo with the city bus passing by as I took the exposure.
Brad dragged me out of the house on a recent, very cold morning to take some photos, which turned out great. I didn’t love getting up at 530am, but we had a good time. Big thanks to Brad.
I captured this photo on the Clemente Bridge that morning.
This photo has been sitting on my hard drive for a long time. It was captured during the filming of our 3rd documentary…which never got out of editing room. Life got in the way.
I doubt anyone else has ever captured the Clemente Bridge like this before, but I could be wrong. It’ll be interesting to see if others have done it or will in the future.
Jason did a great job spinning that night.
I captured this photo in downtown Reykjavik at around midnight last summer. I took one night and walked around the harbor and downtown area taking as many photos as I could. The place was completely empty.
I’d be willing to place a small bet this is the longest hopscotch course in the world. I took this photo around mid-night this time last year in Reykjavik Iceland. This was one of those nights I’d get MJ back to our hotel room and go back out taking photographs by myself.
Here is a throwback to our 2019 Europe river cruise. We started in this beautiful town in Germany. I loved the medieval architecture, cathedrals and bridges. It just made for a very photographic spot.
If you’re ever in Playa del Carmen, check out this place. We’ve eaten here a few times and highly recommend it. It’s right on the ocean with great views and the food is pretty darn good.
What to post for you tonight? That wasn’t an easy question tonight. I have a bunch of Iceland photos, but I don’t want to just post them over and over. So I selected this Pittsburgh photo. Enjoy.
This wonderful Art Deco restaurant is part of South Beach Miami. MJ and I had dinner near here and enjoyed a nice walk back to our hotel beyond party central. Of course, as we walked, I snapped a bunch of pictures
This arch is one of many at the Pennsylvanian Building in downtown Pittsburgh. This former train station is now an event center and apartment building. It is worth an explore.
Here is the Gate 1 Travel river cruise boat called Monarch Princess sitting in the Danube River at Regensburg Germany.
The Hungarian Parliament building on the Danube River is just wonderful during the day and at night. I could take pictures of it nonstop….
Not much I can say about this photo that you can’t see for yourself. This is, of course, a great example of South Beach Art Deco architecture during the pandemic.
Here is a photo I took in late 2019 of downtown Pittsburgh. You can see the baseball stadium (PNC Park), Allegheny River, the three sister bridges (one being renovated), the Lawrence Convention Center and most of downtown.
I missed traveling to Europe in 2020. We actually had a couple of trips there that got canceled with everything else. Right now, those are rescheduled for 2021…we’ll see if they really happens.
This photo of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building is from early 2019.
My Christmas wish is for all of you to have a safe and happy holiday season, along with a wonderful 2021.
Well, sort of…. Before everyone gets all upset…this is a composite photo. I took a photo of Pittsburgh and merged it with the Milky Way photo. We, of course, have this type of sky in Pennsylvania, we just can’t see it due to light pollution. So, it is “art” created by me, just not “art” captured via one photo.
So, before you get upset, remember it’s the Holiday Season and just enjoy it for what it is…. Happy Holidays.
Another photo from PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh…..
Tonight, I have an evening photo of Pittsburgh taken last year. How can you tell it wasn’t taken this year? You can tell by looking at all the travel light trails on the roads. If I had taken it this year the street would have been empty. Truly beautiful downtown city.

In this post, I have the beautiful Chain Bridge and Hungarian Parliament Building along the Danube River in Budapest Hungary. I loved this city. If we can ever get over, around and/or past COVID-19, I hope to go to Budapest again.
