Today is Still Here
Fish in the Air
At least for a few more hours.
No, actually, Today will not be moving to another blog site, at least not in the foreseeable future. For now, Movable Type was a little too difficult to master with the holidays arriving, and I really like WordPress even though there are things I’d like to do with design that I can’t. Ease of use and excellent customer service are better than always getting my way.
In the meantime, if you see fish in the air over your city on a bright, sunny Saturday afternoon, you can just assume you are experiencing a flashback. Or you’ve stumbled through a Narnia portal. Or you’ve invaded a movie set. Or you are at the Children’s Museum on the North Side of Pittsburgh.
Look Up! The Peaks of the City
US Steel Tower and Presbyterian Church on Strawberry Way
Pittsburgh has a mix of tall and short, gothic and modern, stone and steel in its skyline, and on a perfectly clear autumn day even minor details are enhanced by shadows. I typically enjoy photos of the contrast of gothic archictectural influence from the mid industrial age when buildings could have no undecorated spot with the streamlined ultra modern influence from the height of the steel era.
Stylistic Contrast
Look up and see the gargoyles staring down at you!
Gingerbread and Gargoyles
Sometimes a convergence of details comes together and simply provides a nice varied view.
Ornate
Old Church Roofs and Towers
Medieval Battlements
Two views of the same church, actually seen from the back on Oliver Avenue.
And, finally, just an interesting facade.
Nice Facade
