This past Saturday, we went to Pittsburgh.
We stopped at the Duquesne Incline to get a look at the skyline. 
In these things. This is how we would get up the incline to look at the city.
Not too bad, just a slight incline, right?
We walked over to the stairs and I was loving all the rivets on the platform.
Classic chunky steel rivets.
We walked up the stairs, under all the vintage lights.
I loved the glass cages around the lights,
made it look like it was meant to be captured in black and white.
Be careful stepping into the car, watch your step!
The inside of the car was really warm beautiful old wood
that had carried friends and families up the incline for years.
It looked pretty steep once you actually were in the car.
Oh my tummy wasn't going to like this.
But once we got to the top, the view was amazing.
There were so many bridges in Pittsburgh and it seemed like each one
had a different shape and color.
Then to the right were the skyscrapers, and of course a few more bridges.
I like the incline. Me and it could be good friends.

Mendie, these are beautiful! I agree. It was definitely meant to be photographed in black and white. I'd love to see them in color though too.

Beautiful shots. Pittburg really is a gorgeous city from that high up and everything always looks better in B/W.
Fabulous! I've never thought of going to Pittsburgh...but maybe it's worth a visit!
Oh gorgeous photos! It's like the subjects were just made for black & white photography. Great captures!
LOVE that fourth shot, looking down! Awesome job Mendie. It's like you were there in a different time. And now, I want to visit Pittsburgh!!
I road one of those up a mountain in Austria once and it was really cool! It does seem really steep though when you first take a look at it ;)
I love the shots, especially the one with the bridges. Very beautiful!
I can't decide if I like the vintage lights or the bridges best. Nice job!
Now that is the PERFECT outing to capture GREAT black and whites. I love them ALL. Seriously - stunning!
Nice trip into the past. Love those old trains! =)

These are great shots to have in black and white! The vintage lights and structure makes it look like these shots were taken back in the day.

Fabulous pictures, Mendie! We've driven through Pittsburgh a number of times and have never seen it look like your captures. They're all awesome from the rivets to the skyline. Very interesting narration too! You rocked this capture!
That last shot of the skyline is gorgeous! And I really like the shot looking down the staircase-great composition.
I don't knwo what to say, these are all amazing! I really like the abstractness of the rivits and the wonder of the city.
