I’m still trying to recover from the 4 action packed days, sun up to sun down, covering this event. Here are a few track side photos from the Grand Prix on Sunday.
Pittsburgh Pre-Flood
Here are a couple of photos of beautiful Pittsburgh this spring, prior to the floods hitting the city this week. Thankfully, the flood caused material damage and I don’t think anyone was hurt.
More Clemente Bridge Done Up For St. Patrick’s Day
Here are the photos I held back. Brad identified this composition and I copied him….
Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day
Pittsburgh has a number of the bridges and buildings lit up green for St. Patrick’s day weekend. I met Brad out for sunrise this morning and captured a few photos. I got a few I really liked, but Brad identified the composition, so I’ll save posting those photos for later to let him post them first. I assume he’ll do that so. In the mean time, here is a more tradition photo composition of the 6th Street Bridge.
Kirk Cousins
More big quarterback news today with the announcement that Kirk Cousins is joining the Atlanta Falcons. I took these photos of Kirk in 2021 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Wilson and Tomlin
We all learned in the last 24 hours that Russell Wilson will become a Pittsburgh Steelers player for the 2024-2025 season. Time will tell whether this is a good fit for the team, but it is certainly a cheap option.
I took this photo at the end Seahawks-Steelers game back in 2019. It’ll be interesting seeing these two working together.
Carnival Dream
On one of our cruises, I captured these photos of the fairly new Carnival Dream (new at that time) via my drone. They’ve been sitting here on my computer waiting for their time to shine…. Well, shine away…..
Elements
This little condo complex in the Mexican Riviera is a nice little spot for a vacation.
Cincinnati Architecture
After covering a Steelers road game in Cincinnati a while back, the following morning before driving back to Pittsburgh, @jakemysliwczykphoto and I captured some Cincinnati cityscape photographs. Now you get to enjoy some of them.
Golden Gate Bridge
It seems like forever since I’ve been to the west coast. I enjoy San Francisco, but I’m not sure how safe it is anymore. I guess like anywhere else, you have to be careful and watch your surroundings.
Regardless, I’d like to visit SF again at somepoint soon.
Breisacher Telescope
This beautiful little telescope was sitting outside the Breisacher Munster St. Stephan cathedral. The cathedral sits up on a cliff looking down on the town of Breisach Germany and the Rhine River with France on the other side.
City Methodist Church
Throw back the very beginning of COVID. Just as COVID was hitting the U.S., but before we knew what it meant and how it would impact us all, a group of us went to Gary Indiana to photograph abandoned buildings. One of the spots we visited, was the City Methodists Church… a beautiful spot.
Mexican Sunrise
My posting frequency has been very poor lately and I’m sure no one has noticed. If you did, I’m sorry. Here are a couple photos from a past trip to Mexico. Great sunrises on all of our Mexico trips…..
Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari
At the May 2023 FIA F1 Miami Grand Prix, Jason and I witnessed something unusual. We saw Lewis Hamilton stand out in the open, which he never does, for a very long time talking to a Ferrari official. At the time, he was negotiating a contract extension with Mercedes. The rumors seemed to suggest that the negotiations did not produce the results Lewis wanted. Plus, the Mercedes car wasn’t performing at a level to compete with Red Bull.
I captured these photos of Lewis walking in front of the Ferrari team facility and with the Ferrari team official. You can also see a video that Jason and I recorded speculating at that time about Lewis sending a message to Mercedes and potentially leaving them for Ferrari. VIDEO HERE
Strasbourg
I loved this little French city. During our last European river cruise, this was one of the stops. Perfect location to spend a day or more. The river and canals are wonderful along with the amazing architecture.
Point State Park
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.
Playa Graffiti
I’ve been waiting to photograph this spot for over a year. I got it done today. Happy New Year.
WVU vs Drexel
The world has been spinning very fast lately. So, I haven’t been posting here much. Sorry!!
Here are a are some photos from yesterday’s WVU vs. Drexel game.
Faces of F1
A few of the individuals at the 2023 USGP
