I’ve always enjoyed photographing Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh. Something about this location calls to me and everyone else. Anyway, enjoy these two photos demonstrating a couple different angles.
Pittsburgh Mornings
Here are a few photos from a cold spring morning. I captured these from the West End Bridge. We got honored with a wonderful sky that morning.
Cloud Covered Pittsburgh
How was your week? I’m glad the work week is over…. Happy thoughts the rest of the weekend is my only goal. This photo represents a past happy moment when Blair and I were hanging out at the Point State Park taking photos and just talking. If you look close, we’re the two people in front of the fountain.
Layers Of Water
I took this photo a few months ago during sunrise at the Point State Park. The water fountain at the “point” can make for some great photo opportunities throughout the day. Plus, you have the river in the background, which adds another layer of depth to the photo.
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.
Saturday Sunrise
I met up with Brad this morning for a sunrise photo walk. The sky was very interesting this morning in downtown Pittsburgh.
Blair and Brook At The Point
Here is a short video created with the drone of Blair and I at the Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh. I believe this was captured in October 2019.
Pittsburgh's Point State Park Holiday Tree
I took this photo last year from the North Shore looking back at downtown. They put this fake holiday tree up at the Point State Park every year.
Point Fountain
MJ, Blair and I worked in the yard all day and now I feel like I could go to bed immediately (it’s only 7pm). But I’ll probably stay up a couple more hours, otherwise I’ll be awake at 4am staring at the ceiling. Anyway, due to my physical exhaustion, I will keep this short.
Here is a photo I took with my drone looking at downtown Pittsburgh. On this morning, Blair and I tried to catch a nice sunrise that didn’t happen. We got this cloudy morning instead.

Point To Downtown
An aerial view from the Point State Park to downtown Pittsburgh. This was captured in the past during an overcast morning. So nice to see the city and not just the inside of my house or work, even if it is via video from happier times.
The Point from Above 2
Here is the follow up video from my last blog post. I created this with my drone. Blair and I are standing at the point within the Point State Park very early in the morning…..
The Point from Above
Yesterday, Blair and I got up early in an attempt to catch the sunrise at The Point State Park. Unfortunately, we had two events happen that prevented our planned photo. First, the Fountain was turned on when it was supposed to be turned off. Second, the sunrise was a bust!! So, we made the best with what we were given. I captured this photo as part of this excursion.
Come back in a day or so to see the next blog post, which will be a drone video from this spot.
