Heinz Field Postcard

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a photo of the stadium from the outside; despite the fact I’ve probably posted hundreds from inside.  If I have, I don’t remember and I’m too lazy to go back and double check. 

Regardless, I took this photo last July on a day with wonderful clouds.  Frankly, when I look at this photo, my eye goes to the clouds, and I don’t really see the stadium as the area of focus.  What about you?

Vik

This little church in the village of Vik is often photographed from numerous perspectives.  There are a couple of cool rock formations in the ocean off the coast of Vik (behind the church from this angle).  In the future, I’ll share a photo of this church from a different angle where you’ll be able to see them as well.  In this photo, I was trying to frame the church with the purple Lupine wildflowers in the foreground.  By the way, the Lupine flowers are everywhere in Iceland.  Anyway, I hope you like this photo as much as I do.

Nati

I captured this photo when I was in Cincinnati last season covering the Steelers/Bengals game.  Jake and I carpooled down there to cover the night game.  The next morning before heading back to Pittsburgh, we went over to the Kentucky side of the river to get this photo looking back into the city. 

 

Side note, Cincinnati has a bunch of nicknames including Cincy, The Nati, The Queen City, The Queen of the West, The Blue Chip City and The City of Seven Hills…….

Rays of Sunshine

Arriving at downtown Pittsburgh from this bridge is one of the few great city entrances.  You can’t see the city driving towards it due to Mt. Washington and then you enter the tunnel, which is maybe a mile lone (not totally sure on that distance).  As soon as you exit the tunnel, you are immediately on Fort Pitt Bridge and the city explodes into view.  I’ve never found anything like it in any other city.

41st Street Lifeguard Shack

Miami has very cool lifeguard stations along Miami Beach. I don’t know how many variations they have, but they are all a wonderful Art Deco style. This is the one at 41st Street during sunrise.

If someone watched me while I photographed this spot, I”m sure they wondered what was wrong with me. I didn’t have time during the sunrise to photograph multiple lifeguard shacks, they are too far apart. So, I probably took 500 photos of this one from different perspective, different light (before, during and after the sunrise), different cameras, etc.. I’m sure they thought I lost my mind….. Maybe I did, but I think the final product was worth it. Oh…and the homeless people sleeping under the lifeguard shack probably wondered about me as well.

Salt Pier

I realize I have posted a few Bonaire pictures recently.  Normally I try too mixt them up better.  Sorry about that.  Regardless, here is another one from this beautiful island.  This is the Cargill Salt Pier and salt flats.  Cargill is an American company that harvest sea salt in Bonaire for distribution all over the world.  The salt flats seen in the background turn these pretty pink shades.

Danube and Parliament

I missed traveling to Europe in 2020.  We actually had a couple of trips there that got canceled with everything else.  Right now, those are rescheduled for 2021…we’ll see if they really happens.

This photo of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building is from early 2019.
