A few times a week I run through this tunnel of ginkgo trees in downtown #Pittsburgh, and this morning I noticed a huge puddle as I ran by. After I finished (14 miles this morning, longest run of the year), I went back with my camera, and this was the result. What a fun scene.

Might have captured one of my favorite fall scenes ever in #Pittsburgh this morning in the midst of the heavy fog. A train rolls through the North Side, lighting up the gingkoes as it does, making for a beautifully eerie view. Been hoping to capture this shot for years.

Two seasons down, two to go. Unfortunately I kinda forgot to capture summer, but I guess that's the easiest one. I actually two 'Four Seasons of #Pittsburgh' from this spot, and really like how the fall version came out. Now onto the most difficult: winter.

Back to the fog today, just on the other side of the North Side in #Pittsburgh. This tunnel of trees always makes for an incredible view in the fall, but in the fog it made for an eerie, movie-esque scene. If you look closely there's a man at the end of the walkway...or is there?

I've shared a bunch of views of West Park on the North Side of #Pittsburgh from the ground, so here's a collection from the air last week. We *just* missed the engine going through the gingkoes, but it was still cool to see. The last image is a view of the Manchester neighborhood

Just got back from spending over 5 hours in #Pittsburgh capturing the fall colors and what a morning it was. This is far and away my favorite; a 7 shot vertorama from West Park by Lake Elizabeth. Might be an all time favorite fall image. The light through the colors was insane.

Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time. I was capturing the crescent moon rising over #Pittsburgh from the West End Bridge today, when I saw a train coming. I ran down the bridge and got there just in time for this view. Made for a really fun shot.

Five years ago today, October 24, 2017. My favorite picture. Serendipity had me standing at the exact right place at the exact right to capture an image that I may never be able to top, of the most vibrant double rainbow I've ever seen framing both #Pittsburgh and the incline.

I actually have this view in all four seasons, though I think this year's fall composition is my favorite, as you can see the most of the bridge. The winter version from earlier this year is my favorite image of the bunch though, and one of my all time favorite winter scenes.

This morning I took advantage of the rain to capture one of my favorite reflections in #Pittsburgh, and it couldn't have worked out much better. The Andy Warhol Bridge and fall colors stood out perfectly as the rain fell on the North Shore. Made for a beautiful fall scene.
