The winter sun rises above a fresh snow that coats Pittsburgh. There's a certain magic in watching the sun rise over the Monongahela River in winter and over the Allegheny in the summer.

It can be tough sometimes to get up for a summer sunrise. In Pittsburgh, that usually means the sun peaks up in the 5 o'clock hour. Here, rays of the morning sun peek between skyscrapers in Downtown Pittsburgh. This scene was well worth the lost sleep.

It was a REALLY cold night to take photos, but as you can see, the result is well worth it. When I'm shivering, I try to think about how cool the photo may turn out to be. I'll remember this the next time I slog my camera and tripod through the snow! Ice & SteamIce & SteamSteam billows from buildings on a frigid night in downtown Pittsburgh.

Usually when I take photos, I don't truly fall in love with the photo until I've fully processed and edited it. With this picture on the Clemente Bridge, however, that was not the case. Just seeing this in the viewfinder of the camera had my heart fluttering. It's absolutely perfect that the picture itself is of the love locks on the bridge in downtown Pittsburgh. Hundreds if not thousands of couples have purchased padlocks, etched their initials in them, and locked them to the side of the bridge for good luck with its key thrown away (akin to the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris). While the practice itself is frowned upon, this image gives me a big smile.  Love on LockLove on LockPadlocks signifying love are latched onto the railing of the Clemente Bridge.
