Anti-Clock

We had a nice visit with daughter in law Barb and granddaughter Renley this past weekend, visiting the Phipps conservatory and the aviary in Pittsburgh. The city-about a 2 1/2 hour drive south for us- is one of the more picturesque in the nation I think, located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which together form the Ohio river. The Ohio eventually enters the Mississippi in Illinois. I do not possess a smart phone, but am thankful that Beth does when traveling, for the contorted turns needed to navigate through Pittsburgh are much easier with GPS. Otherwise I prefer paper maps; there is something satisfying about holding an Atlas and being able to trace ones progress and destination with a glance. The picture was taken by Barb near the top of the 'incline', a cable car offering this view from a nearby ridge.
