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.
