Yeah, it's my "tourist shot" of the 'burgh. The number of photos that show downtown and the rivers from a vantage like this must be countless in number.
Never-the-less --
The closest bridge in the frame is the West End, the first span over the Ohio River. Above the bridge is Heinz Field - home of the Pittsburgh Steelers - sometimes called the Mustard Palace for the color of it's seats. Bracketing downtown are the last bridegs over the Allegheny and the Mon rivers: the
Fort Duquesne (on the left) and the Fort Pitt (on the right).
In between the bridges just below the buildings of downtown is Point State Park. During the 1700s, both the English and French had occupations on this jut of land between the rivers as they sought dominance over North America, hence the names Fort Pitt and Fort Duquesne. I guess if the French had won out, the municipality might have come to be known as Duquesne instead of Pittsburgh. We'd also be speaking French. Fortunately, the English won out, and then we seceeded from the British Empire, though we still speak English - which is good cause I can't speak French - and I'm not at all sure what we'd call New York.
