In a series of images, I captured the demise of the Hulton Bridge, formerly spanning the Allegheny River. This shot single caught the bridge just as it hit the water below. Shot on Jan 26, 2016, Fox Chapel, PA © John Schiller Photography
Late afternoon sun lights up the Homestead / Munhall side of the Hometead Grays Bridge. The bridge crosses the Monongahela River, connecting Pittsburgh to Homestead. The Homestead side of the bridge is also the site of the former Homestead Steel Works where, in 1892 the Pinkertons fought the local steel workers for control of the Mill.

Early Morning Pittsburgh: Three Sisters
Early morning picture as the moon prepares to set, of the "Three Sisters" bridges - the 6th, 7th and 9th Street bridges, or the Roberto Clemente, Andy Warhol, and Rachel Carson Bridges - shot from the Veterans Bridge. These bridges, built from 1926-1928, cross the Allegheny River and are the only three identical side-by-side bridges in the world Shot on June 22, 2008, Pittsburgh, PA © John Schiller Photography
Looking down the Allegheny towards the Point, it looks like Gateway Center rises in the distance over parts of the Three Sisters' Bridges.
Pittsburgh: Bridges and Churches
Look in any direction in Pittsburgh, and you'll find a bridge, a church or both. Here's an early morning view from the Strip to Polish Hill. In the distance is the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, high up on Polish Hill. In the foreground under the Chestnut Stree Bridge, now the David McCullough Bridge, on the right you can spot the Saint Stanislaus Church in the Strip District. On the left, fading in the distance is the 31st Street Bridge.
