  • Little Waterfalls in Scott Township

    Father Pitt admits to being a sucker for waterfalls, big or small. These are small, but very relaxing to look at and listen to. They’re part of a stream along the Tom the Tinker Trail in the Kane Nature Reserve. You can hear the spring chorus of birds in the background.

    The name of the trail, incidentally, is an allusion to the Whiskey Rebellion. Notes signed “Tom the Tinker” appeared everywhere threatening anyone who complied with the whiskey tax.

  • The Three Sisters

    2013-03-24-Three-Sisters-01

    Supposedly Pittsburgh is the only  place in the world where you can see three identical suspension bridges in a row: the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Street Bridges over the Allegheny, now named for Roberto Clemente (because the Sixth Street Bridge leads to the ball park), Andy Warhol (because the Seventh Street Bridge leads to the Andy Warhol Museum), and Rachel Carson (because we’re really proud of Rachel Carson).
