Pittsburgh 2010

Pittsburgh is an old city in the middle, with lots of great buildings. I got to wander part of the city for part of the day. While I don't know the names of them, or their significance, I had a blast with my camera.

The old fortress for the city is now used for city offices, like courthouse, jail and administrative offices.




What a wonderful building to restore. Can you see the courtyard the way it was once, with flowers and shrubs, with vines everywhere with a center fountain? Instead of a place to take a smoke break.
Then there are the churches.
Between the beauty of the churches and the sculptures, the history of the city is well preserved.
