Yesterday the weather here was almost 60ºF. So I was really hoping for a nice day today, my day off. Yea right, as usual it rained the biggest part of the day which made me not want to venture out much. Oh and by the way, it’s snowing again now. This weather has really got me thinking about spring and the nicer days ahead. So I’m posting tonight’s photo and asking the question:
Any one up for a Picnic?
So today I was finally able to get out of the house and go back to work. If I only could have enjoyed those days off rather than lay around feeling like I was hit buy a bus. But as a good friend says “It is what it is”. Although I was able to get out I didn’t want to spend too much time in this wonderful weather we have so I’m going to post a photo from a trip in the fall into Oakland, which is an area in Pittsburgh, and also the home of Pitt University.
As we were wandering around the area I happened upon this sign painted on a building and just thought it was in an odd place. This was on a small side street and there was hardly room to drive down the street, let alone play ball.
So is anyone ready for a picnic?
Well it seems as though I’ve caught the flu. Wasn’t able to go to work today and tomorrow isn’t looking good either. So todays photo is one that I took a couple of days ago.
Todays photo is one that I shot yesterday while out and about. This is the Youghiogheny River in Connellsville Pa.
Tonight when I left work the temp was low, the snow was blowing and I just wasn’t looking forward to the long drive home. But I did manage to get a single shot of this gentleman crossing the street as he steadily walked through the snow and ice, perhaps on his way home.
Tomorrow I’m hoping to get out in the daylight to do a little snow, ice and possibly some water shots. Well if the weather cooperates.
Once again the temperatures dropped into the single digits with the high in the city of around 11ºF. And as usual I worked all day so my photo for the day would have to come from a night walk. So after work, with a temperature of 7ºF, I bundled my self up and set out for a walk through the city. I know your thinking to yourself this guy is a little off and you would be right. I enjoy being out in the cold and really enjoy it when I can make it part of my photography.
One of the photos I took tonight caught my eye as I walked across an alley. The firs thing that caught my eye was the large amount of steam coming from building on the right, The second thing was my elongated shadow from a street light across. So I took a few shots and decided that this photo should be a combination of both color and B&W. And I think that the finished results lend themselves to my way of thinking.
What do you think? Comments and discussions are always liked.
Well since the story of the week in this part of the world is the weather, I’ll stick with a shot of a couple of girls walking down the street in the cold. Temp 3°F windchill -35°F.
So today was supposed to be my day off. Which was a good thing as the high today was only about 6° F. But as luck would have it my store had a heating malfunction causing us to close early for the day. Still a god thing right? Nope not at all, at least not for me. I was called in to open the doors so that the building engineer could examine the problem. So much for my day off. And by the way, they haven’t fixed the heating problem yet.
I had planned to get out to a local waterfall and see if had frozen completely over but that didn’t happen so today you get another cold picture from the city of Pittsburgh. This photo was taken this evening a little after 5pm and the temp was sharply sitting at 3° with a wind chill of around -30°. Nice day for a walk in the city. This lady didn’t seem to be enjoying her walk.
So the big store in the area today is the cold front moving through which has caused sever drops in temperature. Tonight’s photo is just a simple one of the temperature at 10:00 pm. It’s hard to believe that last night I was out in a t-shirt and tonight well lets just say its a little chilly…
