PPG Tower

The photograph is, as always, clickable.

This is the PPG Tower in downtown Pittsburgh. It is the centerpiece of PPG Place, a complex of six buildings that is the headquarters of PPG Industries, one of the world's largest glass manufacturers.

The complex was designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee, and was completed in 1984. The tower is 40 stories, and rises 635 feet above ground level. I took this photo from atop Mt. Washington, across the Monogehela River from downtown Pittsburgh. Alison and I try to make it up there every time we visit the city. Luckily, Sunday was a beautiful, if cold, day.

And for the photogeeks:

We went out to the Lexington Cemetery the weekend before last with a friend who was visiting from out of town, who wanted to take photos there.

This is one of the shots I took that day. We had had 4 inches of snow the night before. It had been many years since I was there after a snow storm. It looks completely different, but no less beautiful.

I was looking on a DVD for another older photo to try a crop on when I ran across this one taken about the same time.

I don't know why I didn't post this back in September.

I found another halfway decent photo of the eclipse on the 20th. I don't think it is as good as the others, but it seems to have attracted some attention on Flickr, having made it into Flickr Explore.
