September Trip to Pittsburgh, Part Two

Continuing a mini photo-journal of the trip to Steel City at the end of last month.



Above: A shot through one of the many tunnels through the Allegheny Mountains. Traveling from the Pocono Area to Western PA can be a sightful drive through rural backroads and mountainous small towns. The trip from Philadelphia to Western PA, on the other hand, is a dreary 5-hour ride through colorless highways and humdrum flatlands.
Below: Arriving in Pittsburgh with almost 6 hours to kill, I visit old buildings where I used to attend class more than a decade ago. I stop to use the restroom in one of these buildings and notice I've never seen toilets like this on the Eastern side of Pennsylvania, reminding me of how Western PA always felt like the other side of the country, with much different architecture and other random details such as this.



This photo below is one of the many "Nationality" classrooms on the Ground Floor of the Cathedral of Learning. The Cathedral of Learning is a architectural symbol of the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, offering a great place of study for the University of Pittsburgh students. I will be posting more on this building in Part 3 of the trip.
