I’ve always enjoyed photographing Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh. Something about this location calls to me and everyone else. Anyway, enjoy these two photos demonstrating a couple different angles.
Cloud Covered Pittsburgh
How was your week? I’m glad the work week is over…. Happy thoughts the rest of the weekend is my only goal. This photo represents a past happy moment when Blair and I were hanging out at the Point State Park taking photos and just talking. If you look close, we’re the two people in front of the fountain.
Sunrise Point
Brad, Blair and I met way, way, way too early this morning (my sleep will be messed up for a week) to photograph the sunrise in downtown Pittsburgh. For those of you who don’t know, there is a Pennsylvania state park positioned where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers come together to form the Ohio River in the heart of the city. The park’s name is Point State Park for obvious reasons.
Anyway, at the “point” in the park where the rivers come together is a large water fountain. They turn it on right after sunrise each day. We wanted to capture the sunrise reflection in the water of the fountain. Fortunately, it worked out since I’ve failed to capture this a few times in the past. We finally got a nice sunrise and sky, which made this image powerful.
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.
