Pittsburgh, PA

It’s been a very cold, snowy and icy few days. Yesterday they canceled work, but today was no fun to drive in either. It seems that even though the sun is shining, there’s ice over everything. What’s a shooter to do? I’m really frustrated that I am NOT out in the forests or wilderness areas I love so much. The light from the sun, the vivid blue skies and the ice-encrusted trees all call to me as I drive to work.


At 10AM, when most employees take their “official smoke break” (that’s sort of joke, the smokers take breaks whenever they want…LOL) I decided to go outside too. Instead of lighting up though I ran across the bridge to Phipps Conservatory. While NOT the same as being where I really wish I were, I can at least get my fix in for shooting in this light…

Lovely capture. Sounds like the same opportunity I had to give up on yesterday.

Love this tree. Just excellent. Sometimes you don't need to go far from your car for a great shot.
