This is a short one, filed under ‘Odds and Ends.’ After taking a short walk up the Ohio River and turning around at the Western Penitentiary campus, here in Pittsburgh, I was quick stepping it back to the car.
The quick steps thing was about getting my heart rate up to a certain level and maintaining that speed for an interval. Cardiology, amirite?

Along the way, I grabbed a few opportune shots, including one of what seems like an abandoned concrete factory on Brunot’s Island.
Man, if I ever find a way onto that landform, I’m heading straight for this spot.

I love a rusty sign, especially one which hosts a message from an earlier era’s governmental bureaucracy, or some long shuttered business, admonishing or threatening arrest for trespass. I always found this sort of thing to be quite useful from a historical POV, along Newtown Creek and the East River.
Back next week.
