Today’s post is a photo from downtown Pittsburgh. This is PPG Place. Someday, I want to explore the inside of this building. The outside is amazing looking and for some reason, I’ve imagined the inside as being just an average business office. If anyone at PPG Place wants to prove me wrong, DM me.
Pittsburgh Rooftops
What to post for you tonight? That wasn’t an easy question tonight. I have a bunch of Iceland photos, but I don’t want to just post them over and over. So I selected this Pittsburgh photo. Enjoy.
PPG Arena
My Red Wings didn’t make it into the NHL Playoffs, which was disappointing. Locally the Pens fans had their season come to an end this week as well. This statute is outside the Pens’ stadium in downtown Pittsburgh. Honestly, I don’t know which players are represented. I’m sure a Pens fan could tell us.
Happy Holidays
My Christmas wish is for all of you to have a safe and happy holiday season, along with a wonderful 2021.

Another photo from PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh…..
PPG Place Tree
Now that Thanksgiving holiday is complete, I feel safe sharing Christmas holiday photos. Here is one I took on a past excursion to PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh. I took this late in the day on a weekday so that I could avoid having a bunch of ice skaters getting in my photo.
By the way, the ice rink is elevated above the sidewalk. So, I had to stand on top of a patio table to capture this perspective, which resulted in me getting yelled at by the PPG Security Officer. No wonder why I didn’t get a Christmas gift that year….I was naughty.

PPG Skyview
Pittsburgh is a very pretty city. Frankly, it’s underrated and should be a travel destination for those who’ve never been here before. I took this photo looking down on the PPG building with Heinz Field and the three rivers in the background.

PPG Tree Again
Okay. Next year I either need to get out and take a ton of holiday photos from numerous spots or just post fewer holiday photos….. But this year I didn’t get out much, so you got stuck with numerous photos from PPG Plaza….
Merry Christmas.

Down View
Keeping with the Christmas theme, here is a unique perspective of the PPG Christmas Tree and Ice Rink. I’m sure this view has been captured before, but probably not by many. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Tree Reflection
How’s your life going right now during the holiday season. My December seems to be crazy this year. Too much going on at work and home…..
……I’m ready for things to slow to their normal fast pace. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Holidays in the City
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. This is of downtown Pittsburgh with the PPG Place building in the foreground and the Pittsburgh Christmas tree at the Point State Park in the background. Of course, the photo also includes the three rivers (Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela). Anyway, enough of that….again enjoy your weekend.

PPG Place
As you’ve probably noticed, I love my drone. Not only do I like flying it, but I love the photo perspectives I can get with it. Today’s post is from a recent flight in downtown Pittsburgh. This is the top of PPG Place. If you’ve never seen it, the complex is amazing.

Hockey Season Starts Soon
There are times when I get behind on my processing and editing photos and videos. Here is a short video from a game last season (Pens vs. Avalanche). Blair and I got these great box seats by the glass that included a suite (Suite 66) under the stands where the Pens players come in and out…. You can’t get much better!!!
Downtown Up Close
Short post tonight…… Today’s photo is a aerial close up of downtown Pittsburgh that I took a few months ago. If you haven’t been, you’d be surprised how cool this city is everyday.

The Burgh
Most of my photos are extremely colorful. I usually push the limits of color because that’s the way I like them. Tonight’s photo is toned down compared to my normal. I took this photo with my drone a few months ago at sunset. Downtown Pittsburgh is a beautiful spot.

Copy-Cat Photo
I don’t know who took this perspective first, but I’ve seen a ton of Pittsburgh based photographers post this exact composition over the last 6 weeks. So, while we were downtown walking around yesterday capturing the city holiday scene, we captured this as well. Dave posted his version yesterday… Now it’s my turn. I hope you enjoy this copy-cat photo. Happy Holidays.

PPG Christmas Tree
I got up way to early today (430am) to go into downtown Pittsburgh to meet up with @bradtruxell and @dtruxell . We were on a mission to capture some Christmas themed photos before they disappear for the season and without tons of tourist in the way. We accomplished the mission…..
I took this photo at PPG Place. Every year they turn this courtyard into an ice-skating rink and put a giant holiday tree in the middle. About the only person we ran into was a security guard who was on us in about 30 seconds. He was nice, just watching us closely.

Reflecting The Sunset
A few weeks ago, I ran downtown to photograph the largest super moon in decades. That didn’t work very well (to many clouds), but I captured this beauty as the sunset was reflecting off the PPG building, turning it a nice red. Have a great Friday.
