It’s been a while since I did a photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh. This photo is from just before the pandemic. It is weird how time seems to have changed speed during COVID. Some things appear to be going faster and some slower. The pandemic has negatively impacted my photography opportunities.
Regardless, I always liked this photo with the city bus passing by as I took the exposure.
Here is the entrance (lobby) of a resort MJ and I stayed at in the Cancun area a few years ago. It wasn’t the most practical design, but I loved it anyway.

We had such an amazing time last year on the European river cruise. Our trip ended in Budapest. I can’t think of a better city to end the cruise at for a trip like that. It was so wonderful.
This photo is from that trip. I took this long exposure photo with my drone looking down at the Szechenyi Chain Bridge with Pest side of the city in the back ground…. You can also see a couple river cruise boats along the river side on each side of the bridge.

During our road trip to Baltimore, we made a stop at Graffiti Alley in West Baltimore….let me say that it was just amazing. Of course, I love and appreciate nicely done graffiti. This spot is basically, an “L” shaped alley that is painted with hundreds (maybe over a thousand) murals and graffiti (street art).
The city (or someone) allows people to do make it sort of an outside permanent, but always changing, art exhibit. This spot is consistently being used for photo shoots, videos, etc… We did our own little photo shoot using steel wool (and Jake got sucked into photographing some local rappers). I’ve done this in the past at various locations. Normally, I’m the person spinning the steel wool. This time @jasonpohuski did the spinning, while @jakemysliwczykphoto and I captured it via photos and video using five devices.

Last weekend, I captured this photo in Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. Brad Truxell spotted this composition. I just copied his idea and captured the scene with my camera. So, I want to give him credit for the idea.
Happy Holidays

For your Saturday viewing pleasure, here is a photo from the Clemente Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh. I took this photo a few months ago on a great evening out taking photos with some friends.

Blair and I went to this spot after listening to a presentation by Trey Ratcliff a few months ago. I posted a photo of this building back then, but sort of forgot about the rest of them until tonight. So, now you get another (belated) Pennsylvanian building photo. I love this part of this building. Anyone know what this architectural feature is called?

We had a great river cruise down the Danube River to Budapest. There are so many wonderful spots. I captured this photo with my drone of the 19th-century suspension bridge connecting Buda to Pest with the Buda Castle and Palace complex in the background. The castle housed the Hungarian Kings of Budapest. It was completed in 1265 and was expanded/renovated in 1749 and 1769. In the past it was referred to by Royal Palace or Royal Castle. Today Hungary uses it for their National Gallery and History Museum.
