    Two views from the northern end of the Sixth Street Bridge, now officially the Roberto Clemente Bridge. This is one of the famous Three Sisters; Pittsburgh is the only place in the world, it seems, where you can find three identical suspension bridges side by side. The pictures were taken to test a fifty-year-old Argus C4, which apparently passed the test.

  • The Dirty Old Cathedral of Learning

    The Cathedral of Learning, the fantastical Gothic skyscraper at the heart of the University of Pittsburgh, has recently been cleaned of all the soot and grime from the old days of big steel. The building is beautiful now, but the old grime had its own character and beauty. Here are a few pictures of the Cathedral of Learning before the cleaning.
