Hickory Street Bridge

I took another trip downtown the other night.  It didn't last as long.  Soldiers and Sailors park was completely closed off to pedestrians, as was the lower walkway of Breeze Point Landing.  I was able to walk around a bit, found the still very much dead bird I saw the other night on the wooden steps near the old dock (tred carefully, and no, I'm not posting that photo).

Fruits of my labor... (click all photos to enlarge them).

Breeze Point Landing.  
If you can't see it, the water is dangerously close to overtaking the walkway, which is probably why it's closed.




A view of Hickory Street Bridge spanning the Allegheny River as seen from the "Boardwalk" overlook area of Breeze Point Landing (northern banks). Previous photos shared the view from the opposite side, near where that orange light is to the left and under the bridge (to give you perspective).

 



Hickory Street Bridge as seen from the wooden steps by the dock.  Not pictured is the large amount of ice that laced the banks as they flooded the steps.  I might show them tomorrow.  
I apologize for the fuzzy nature of the bridge, this shot was hand-held.

The Opposite of a Sunset

This scene caught my eye as I was attempting to clear ice in my driveway. It is interesting to note that the sunset was on the opposite side of the valley.




Anybody who photographs the sky will know that it changes quickly, especially when a front is moving in or out. The difference between shots here is mere minutes, although I did move back a bit and changed to a wide angle view.  I have not touched the colors in either photo.

 

Breeze Point Landing





I'm still getting creative with my night shots.  

Here is Breeze Point Landing in Warren, PA, taken at night in January from the top level of "Big Blue" parking garage.  The riverfront condos, rotunda, and Hickory Street bridge are all in view.  
Note the moon above as it peeks through the clouds.

Contemplate


I don't know what it is about this photo, but it's my recent favorite.  
I've been staring at it all night.
