Another capture further down river of Pittsburgh PA. A bit of info from wikipedia:A 2006 study determined that Pittsburgh has 446 bridges, and with its proximity to three major rivers and countless hills and ravines, Pittsburgh is known as "The City of Bridges". Pittsburgh is the world record holder for bridges with piers and stands contained entirely within city limits, beating out Venice, Italy, the previous record holder by 3 bridges. There are many more bridges in Pittsburgh that are not counted toward the world record as they lack piers.These are just 3 of those bridges~they cross all Three Rivers at almost every street from downtown to the suburbs,

What another great cityscape photo with the bright yellow bridge. All my time living semi-near Pittsburgh, and I had no idea it had that many bridges. A great shot

What a great shot with super clarity Ami. You have edited this one perfectly. Who woulda thunk they would outdo Venice? Of course it is the city of Steel. Transportation would be reasonable.
All kidding aside, this is one of your best. Now next time pay attention to the game. :)

Another very nice shot of he skyline and the river Ami. Very good clarity here too and the bridge looks beautiful. With 486 bridges Pittsburgh has no chance in the top league. Hamburg has more than 2300 bridges! - more than Venice and Amsterdam together! :)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Where are all the orange barrels? This can't be my town; not without the detour signs and the road cones! Sad to see US Steel Building become UPMC. Changes.

Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.
