Colors of Autumn – Pittsburgh 2007

November 7th, 2007
 
 
 

The peak of fall colors in Pittsburgh this year was not optimal due to the late warm temperatures and rainfall during primetime, but there were still bursts of red, orange and yellow here and there. Have a look.

    Your photography is absolutely beautiful. I love photography of cities, and I particularly love Pittsburgh as a city … And your photography of Pittsburgh is nothing short of perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your photography fo all to see. I live in Central PA but get to live in the city vicariously through these photos!

  • Yinzer

    I love your three sister photo. After coming back to pittsburgh this is such a stricking feature of this city. The hills, and the bridges. I was out in a flat and boring town for three years. I came back to the burgh, and nothing beats the terrain and character.

    Great shots Matt,,it looks like you still had some color there..I will make my way in Pittsburgh agian around Wed of this week…Take care

  • http://my.opera.com/srr Stephen

    This set is a real treat. The PA colors are great this year! This summer I visited U Pitt for an open house and I just loved the city. This is second only to being there!

  • cm

    I cannot wait to come home next week. I miss this town so much.

  • Jake

    Unbelievable photographer. I like how you capture every aspect of the city and it’s personality. Pittsburgh is a city where the majority of it’s residents are 100% proud of where they come from. What’s not to love about it? We have our own language, best football francise in the NFL, most livable city in America, and home to the second nicest view in America. And you’ve captured every one of those qualities, a lot of people who have never been here think it’s a dirty, ugly, dreery city. They take one look at your work, they will have a whole new outlook. PS, is work work available for purchase?

    As a lifetime Steeler fan, I can’t thank you enough for these wonderful photos. I am in Eugene, Oregon and it is beautiful here, but you have shown me the beauty of a place I knew only in my imagination- Georgeous-and now I cant wait to come visit the City- not just for a game!

  • Clara Carlucci

    The photos are great almost makes me want to go up and visit.

  • Jason Steele

    These are great. You are an amazing photographer and now I am sad that I’m not coming home for Thanksgiving this year.
    I would love to see some photos of forgotten places like the Candy-Rama downtown before it is demolished.
    Also, did you change the security restrictions on the images? I used to be able to right-click and make the photos my computer desktop wallpaper. If so, I understand but I really loved having these photos on my two computer monitors.

    Thanks

    Once again. You are amazing. The best. Thank you for what you are doing for the Burgh.

  • Marsha Morris

    These pictures are incredible!!! I download a lot of pictures from Webshots, but their pictures cannot compare with yours.
    Thank you so much for these pictgures

  • Katie

    Thanks so much for such beautiful photos. After moving away from Pgh after college six years ago, I’m finally moving back in early 2008. I’m so excited!!, and these photos help fan the flames!

  • mark e k

    I took my girlfriend who is a born and raised floridian back home to watch the steelers spank the seahawks. I think she now knows why I talk about my hometown so much. And why I bleed chipped ham.

  • chris

    Again! A beautiful collection of an equally beautiful city. There is no place like Pittsburgh…..”Is that you Dorothy”?

  • joyce

    Left Pgh in 1965 for LA area but my so called roots are back there.

    I was so excited when Klondikes came to LA…

    Chipped ham; oh I grew up on it, but now realize it’s all FAT…..

  • aaron

    Matt,

    What a wonderful site to come to when I am homesick. The song of my old school alma mater rings true….I love Pittsburgh and the many townships and areas around this majestic place.

  • MR. HAMMOND

    what a thrill to tell people that I know you. your pics are very special. Keep it up Matt

  • John

    I am sooo homesick seeing this beautiful photography. I live in Hollywood, FL (aka South America) and I am just sick of the heat, these people and the crap this area has to offer. Keep the umbrella drinks Governor Crist, this is far from Paradise. I’ll take the Stillers and the cold ANYTIME!!!!!! I’ll be back!

  • Janie

    Hey Matt, your pictures are great. I left the Burgh about five years ago and these pictures really remind me of what I left behind.. Keep up the good work, I’m glad I found this website, I’m sure I’ll be back often.

  • Rachel Barry

    Thanks so much for the absolutely beautiful photography of Pittsburgh! Originally from the Pittsburgh area & I’m right now going through a meltdown of home sickness.

    Is it possible to order any of your photos suitable for framing? Please reply by email if they are available.

  • Rich

    Do you sell any of the photos

  • Retro Richard

    Matt: I’m just a lonely little petunia in a Chinese patch…longing, as do we all it seems…for my old home town. Your affection for the city, and attention to the little bits and pieces that make the ‘burgh the special place it is for us are very clear in your work. I’ve managed, somehow, to get a couple of pics to save to my desktop, one of lightening strikes over downtown from below the point, and another of the cable car up to near where my mom was born back in 1917. They never fail to draw comments from my Chinese friends…positive ones, even envious.

    But, now that I see all the pricing info and such I’m feeling guilty. Is there a fee I should be paying? Or is there a window of opportunity for those of us whose homesickness is assuaged by your work to download one or two or three for wallpaper?

    Thanks…for a reply if you have time, and for your work if not!

    The pictures are magnificent. However, I wish to know if you have any of teh towns and cities up the rivers, or any of East Pittsbugh such as teh bridge there?

  • jason

    the Forbes / Fifth Avenue corridors in oakland, between Magee Hospital and all the way up to Penn Avenue, has some amazing buildings and scenery. Do we need 1,000 photos of downtown? man of them are very nice, but lets face it- in the day time, it looks old and tired. this website needs more photos of squirrel hill, oakland, brighton heights, swisshelm park, etc.
    there are many beautiful areas of the city that suburbanites or visitors from other regions do NOT see, because these areas are tucked away from the universities, hospitals, and other attractions.

    i love the archtecture of Pittsburg, but iam from norway, i will must visit pittsburgh one day, my fav city in USA. GOD BLESSS AMERICA

  • kennedy

    You have taken sooo many breathtaking pictures of this beautiful city. But I must say, I think these rank up there with the best of them all. I could look at these pics all day!

  • zack

    This is awesome i love these pictures! My older brother lives in pittsburgh i dont, but every time i get to go there i love going through the tunnels, because once you get to the other side Boom! the skyline just takes your breath away.

  • BETTY THROPP

    I LEFT MY HEART IN PITTSBURGH AND IT IS STILL THERE IN 2020. THERE IS NO PLACE ELSE SO SPECIAL.
