Hot Metal Bridge

Tonight I have something different for you.  I like my photos to be rich with colors, texture, and vibrant……so I don’t do many black and white (b/w) photos.  But when I was working on this photo, it just screamed “make me a b/w pic!!!”.  So b/w is what you got!  I took this picture last summer while on a photo walk with Brad and Dave.  We started in the Southside shopping area and worked our way along the river toward this bridge.  In the past, there was a steel mill along the river next to this bridge.  Today there is expensive shopping, restaurants, bars, and corporate headquarters.

American Eagle Outfitters

Last night I went on a photo walk with Brad and David Truxell.  We decided to meet in the Southside area of Pittsburgh.  I’ve never been to this area of Pittsburgh before.  I didn’t have any idea what to expect and I was surprised at how nice it was.  I am also surprised I haven’t heard more about this area before.  There is a great park with a path along the river, the Hot Metal Bridge (I’ll have pictures of this cool bridge for you later), views of downtown, lots of cool bars/restaurants, and great shopping. 

There are also some fairly new office buildings in this area.  Tonight’s picture is of the American Eagle Outfitters corporate headquarters, which sits overlooking the Monongahela River, and next to the Hot Metal Bridge (which I am standing while taking the picture).  Even though I didn’t capture anyone in my photo, there were tons of people walking, jogging, and cycling along the river and over the bridge.
