I was stuck in traffic, first on the ramp from the 10th Street Bypass to the Fort Duquesne Bridge where the concrete railing cut off the bottom half of the photo, then on Carson Street across the way, and what better to do than photograph whatever is handy? That also means I had the time for several views.
