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.

Homestead in the Late Afternoon Sun
Homestead PA is just across the Monongahela River from Pittburgh. Like so many former mill towns that hug the rivers around Pittsburgh, Homestead is home to many eastern European churches. St. Gregory Russian Orthodox Church can be seen in the upper left of the picture, and St Mary Magdalene's Church is a few streets below it. Shot on March 14, 2016 In Pittsburgh, PA.

West Homestead above the Steel Mill
West Homestead rises right behind the remaining stacks of the former Homestead Steel Works. Perhaps many of those houses basking in the late afternoon sun were once company homes, or those belonging to "management". Shot on March 14, 2016 In Pittsburgh, PA. (c) John Schiller Photography
The sun sets over Homestead, and paints the clouds a pale pink, as the evening readies a moonrise on the first day of the SuperMoon. Late fall colors edge the Monongahela River across from the Waterfront Mall (former site of the Homestead Steel Works). Shot on November 14, 2016 In Homestead, PA. (c) John Schiller Photography
Travel prevented me from photographing the SuperMoon on the night of 11/13 and bad alarm management messed me up on the morning of 11/14 for moonrise. Finally, clouds interfered with my photo plans during moonrise on the night of 11/14. Still I was able to capture the Supermoon at it peeked through the clouds over the Waterfront (formerly the Homestead Steel Works) and reflected off the Monongahela River.

A fresh December snow wraps every branches of the trees that protect the train tracks following the Monongehela River as it heads towards Pittsburgh. On the other side of the river is the site of the forner USS Homestead Steel Works. Shot in Homestead, PA on December 14, 2016 in Pittsburgh, PA © John Schiller Photography
