Downtown Pittsburgh


This morning, while David was attending his meetings, I visited the Carnegie Mellon Museums - Natural History and Art collections (more of those another day).


This afternoon we walked into the downtown area of Pittsburgh to 'The Point' where a park and fountain mark the confluence of three important rivers - the Ohio, the Allegheny and the Monongahela ('the Mon').  


The fountain is impressive from any direction..


It was also quite cool around the edge on such a warm day.


Pittsburgh has many iron bridges over the three rivers and the three valleys shape the city.


There is quite a mix of older and modern buildings in this part of the city.
