On Top Of Mt Washington by digitalrn

On Top Of Mt Washington

Well, it was a long gruesome day of teaching, but we made it through. Another full day tomorrow, and then about 4:30pm we head back home. Tonight we made our way into Pittsburgh, walked around, I believe it was Station Square, and then took the railcar, and rode up the incline to Mt. Washington. It afforded a beautiful view of the city, Three Rivers, and the stadium, etc. I took many photos, but I believe this is my favorite. Again it is in B/W, but I like its crispness. After we walked around awhile, we then took the cable car back down and had dinner at Houlihan's. I had a delicious Filet Mignon dinner. I cannot remember the last time I had a good steak, and this one was excellent, with a great fresh salad and steamed brocoli. It was a great end to a busy day. Hope your day was good too. Will catch up on commenting tomorrow. Have a wonderful night.
WOW!!! Fantastic pic! It is really crisp and there's so much to see!

Your photo is brilliantly crisp and a lovely view! I'm glad you were rewarded at the end of a hard day...your dinner sounded delicious!

You captured Pittsburgh wonderfully! So glad it all went well here. :) I used to live on Mt. Washington, and took the incline to the bottom to Station Square daily and would catch the trolley into town. If ever you are back in town, and have time, I would recommend walking thru The Strip District. So many other places to go to. Have a safe trip home.
