P4100089 Another year, another Pirates season and every reason to head back home to The Burgh. Kate and I went to the home opening series on April 9-11, 2007. Before the second game of the series, I headed over to one of the newer parking garages that is located between Heinz Field and PNC Park to take some different angled photos of the ballpark. On my way, I took this shot of P4100089
P4100093 This is the view from the top of the parking garage I took the pictures from looking to the south toward Pittsburgh. The bridge in the foreground is the Fort Duquesne Bridge and the one in the background is the Fort Pitt Bridge. P4100093
P4100094 The best shot I took from the top of the parking garage looking toward PNC Park. The lighting during this time of day was awesome, so it added to the ambiance of the photo. The US Steel building (tallest in the background) is the main fixture of the skyline in this view. P4100094
P8110005 On August 10, 2007, we took Aurora on her first trip. We were headed back home to The Burgh where she was having her baptism. We did the drive east in two stages to see how she would handle the drive, and since we left as soon as I got off work on Friday. Here is Aurora and Kate at the first rest stop and Welcome Center on Interstate 70 East after entering Pennsylvania. P8110005
P8110006 This is where she got to put her feet on Pennsylvania soil for the first time (or any soil for that matter)! P8110006
P8120010 The day after we got to Pittsburgh, I took a trip into town to do a little touristy sight-seeing of the city from Mount Washington. I had done this many times before, but wanted to update some of my photos of the city with the digital camera. I took one of the two remaining inclines on the Mount Washington bluff to get to the top. The Monongahela Incline is further to the left (about a mile or so). I took the Duquesne Incline to the top. Both inclines rise 400 feet above the street level and are at 30 degree angles. P8120010
P8120012 Pittsburgh, PNC Park, and the Three Rivers from street level on the South Side before heading to the incline. P8120012

P8120022 The other car goes by us heading down to the street, as I am going up. P8120022
P8120025 From the viewing platform at the top of the Duquesne Incline, I took this photo of the Carnegie Science Center and Heinz Field. The Science Center had some damage from recent storms that caused some siding to fall off. P8120025
P8120026 The view from the top of the Duquesne Incline looking down at the fountain, PNC Park, and the Three Rivers. P8120026
P8120027 Another nice thing is the monument right at the Duquesne Incline to those Mount Washington service members that (I think) fell during the last several wars (i.e. World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam). P8120027
P8120028 The post card view of the Duquesne Incline and The Burgh! P8120028
P8120029 The Burgh from a mile or so further to the west from Mount Washington. The Allegheny River (top) and Monongahela River (right) meet to form the Ohio River (left). P8120029
P8120031 A cool new monument that was added to the Mount Washington overlook park is called the P8120031
P8120033 ...George Washington (right) and Seneca Nation leader Guyasuta (left). The US Steel building (tallest) is in the middle of the two. P8120033

P8120050 P8120050
P8120051 I zoom in to Point State Park because of the construction that was going on at the time and since earlier in 2007. There is no grass at this time because a lot of digging up of the ground was being down to P8120051
P8120052 Parting shot of this western part of the Mount Washington overlook looking to the west down the Ohio River. P8120052
P8120053 I headed back to the Duquesne Incline, and kept going further toward the overlooking platforms of Grandview Avenue on Mount Washington. Along the way, I stopped to take this photo of Pittsburgh, and... P8120053
