Spectacular!

Thanks for these amazing pictures! I´ve enjoyed watching them. Pictures by night are stunning, specially the one with the moon rising and those with the fireworks.

By the way, Pittsburgh is really pretty.

Congratulations and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Not sure how I feel about the new version of Gateway station.

Where was that rural shot (with Steel bldg in far distance) taken?

From Scenery Hill, PA, about 25 miles south.

Excellent, Flash. Most excellent! Definitely awesome to see another view of the fireworks from inside of PNC Park, as opposed to the shots I took of them from where the Gateway Clipper was doing its shuttles across the river for the baseball fans...

Superb! Pittsburgh is high on my list of favorite cities, and you've done it proud with these photos.

Really great shots in this set of Pittsburgh gold.

Question: What the hell is BNY Mellon doing to its tower? I know that they are painting it and I've been observing the "progress" over the past 10 months or so, but what are they really doing? Is it all going to be that brownish "bronze" that they are calling it? Or are the indented portions going to continue to be the lighter grayish color? Does anyone know?

From what I remember, they are painting most of the tower brown (as you can see) and the middle inset portions around the logo yellow. I'm not sure I like it.
