July 1, 2006 - Pittsburgh

Another Saturday, and I went downtown. I parked on 7th Street, about a block from the bridge, and took pictures. Mostly I shot the 6th St. Bridge, also called the Roberto Clemente Bridge. As it was about a week and a half from the All Star Game, the bridge had large All-Star Game banners in the arches of the support towers:

There were Three Rivers Reggatta events going on at the time, with Hydrofoils racing in the Allegheny River under the Ft. Duquesne Bridge:

Next, I went up to Mt. Washington and got more pix. Because of the heat and humidity, it was quite hazy and pictures needed contrast cranked up, but I got a few good shots.

That's what I did. I will do a special blog discussing the Roberto Clemente Bridge!
