This photo is an old one that I took back in 2015, but I’ve never shared it. This was an epic exploration of an abandoned Overholt Rye Distillery outside of Pittsburgh. This was a tough shot to capture because it was a small and dark space. But I wanted to capture the bottom of this structure. This isn’t the best photo, but I like it.

This is a photo of the No. 1 Scale Hopper at the abandoned Overholt Distillery outside of Pittsburgh. This was a great site to explore and photograph.

No. 1 Scale Hopper
Tonight’s post will be short, due to the late hour. I took this photo last fall on a photo walk with a few of the guys. This is an abandoned rye distillery outside of Pittsburgh. I love the framing of the door and windows with the Monongahela River in the background. I also like the contrast of the old decaying building with the beautiful nature behind it.

Yesterday I explored the abandoned Overhold Distillery with a few fellow photographers (Dave Truxell, Brad Truxell, and Mike Criswell - see the photo below.). I have no idea how long it’s been since the distillery produced its last batch, but it looks like it was a long time ago.
Unfortunately, the sky was an ugly solid gray all day and we got a little rain. But we made the best of it and had a great time. This photo is one of my favorites from the day. The good news is that I got a bunch I liked, so I’ll have to share them with you later. In addition, Brad, Dave and I stopped at Robinson Falls before we left the area. I’ll have some of those pictures for you in the future as well.
