Point State Park

Point State Park is the largest park in downtown Pittsburgh.  There is a huge fountain at the tip of it where the 3 rivers meet.  I wasn't able to get a picture of the fountain, (which is the high lite of the park) because it was fenced off because they are rebuilding it.  In the meantime here are some photos of the rest of the park.

Point State Park, also know as the Point is where a lot of different events are held, we go there to watch fireworks on the 4th of July, regatta in August (I think it might be held in July now) and a lot of other activities take place there.   Enjoy the pics.

PPG Buildings & Plaza

I have always been fascinated by the buildings of PPG Place (Pittsburgh Plate Glass).  Thought I'd share some photos of it with you.  Enjoy.

Shrubbery

Is it shrubbery or bushes?  You decide.  Maybe they are the same thing.
No labels this time since I don't know the names of all of them.
 Enjoy the pics.

The other post I did on trees were trees from when I lived in Florida.  These trees are from around my neighborhood in Pittsburgh.   Enjoy.
