Posted February 9, 201510 yr This was my first visit to Pittsburgh and it blew me away. I figured I would like it (there really aren't any cities I don't like), but it exceeded all expectations. I especially liked how the topography of the city made it easy to get some good urban shots. When I first got into the city I had no idea where I was going so I found a place to park on the street. That street happen to border Dequesne University and had a large university parking structure next to it. So of course I climbed the stairs to the top. So here is my first picture I took in the city.

February 9, 201510 yr Pittsburgh has one of the best skylines in the country. It's very colorful, diverse, and photogenic. There are so many vantage points. One of my favorite cities.
February 10, 201510 yr Well done. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

February 10, 201510 yr Love the skyline, just wish downtown was not so dead on weekends. There pictures were taken on a Sunday and it didn't feel dead to me.
February 11, 201510 yr Beautiful. You must have had a very full day. Do you take sunshine and blue sky with you everywhere you take pictures? How do you do that?
February 11, 201510 yr Beautiful. You must have had a very full day. Do you take sunshine and blue sky with you everywhere you take pictures? How do you do that? I try to plan my photo-trips around the weather forecast. Of course that doesn't always work out but I got pretty lucky on this trip.
