Construction of the new addition was still finishing up when old Pa Pitt last visited. Here is a pile of stones.

More pictures of the Church of the Ascension, and some pictures of the church in 2013, when it still wore a coat of black.

Once again, old Pa Pitt took half an hour’s walk in the far end of Seminole Hills, but unlike last time he did it in broad daylight this time. Most of these pictures are on the sunny side of the street, but we hope you will forgive a few backlit pictures.
Even in the more modest part of Seminole Hills, the variety of styles is remarkable. A few postwar modern houses have grown up here, too, but the shady winding streets make harmony of what might otherwise be a dissonance of styles.
Because we have nearly fifty pictures to show, we’ll avoid weighing down the front page and boring the readers who have no interest in domestic architecture by putting the rest behind a “more” link.

Father Pitt’s site is dedicated to pictures of beautiful and interesting things in Greater Pittsburgh—“Greater,” of course, meaning whatever old Pa Pitt wants it to mean. Sometimes Father Pitt has things to say about photography itself. Instead of boring his readers here who have no interest in the subject, he has decided to gather his musings on the art of photography in one place:
Father Pitt’s Eccentric Photography at photo.fatherpitt.com.
And if you go there right now, you will meet, just in time for Halloween, Frankencamera.
