The balmy, evening sunlight stretches across the forested hills surrounding the city. The urban landscape, intertwined with trees, stretches towards the horizon before disappearing into the distant foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Pittsburgh’s bridges reach across the steady flow of the rivers, and the evening light colors the high-rise buildings in a warm, amber cast. The aroma from the city’s bistros fill the air. The sight of downtown, universities, stadiums, and iconic rivers all in one view. A perspective like no other, and beyond imagination.
