This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.

A few days ago the Allegheny River in #Pittsburgh was darn near a mirror, and that made for some amazing reflections of the Steel City. It’s just one of those rules: when the river looks like this, you have to take a panorama from the dock. No way you can pass it up.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky
