Pittsburgh's Smithfield Street bridge is a lenticular truss bridge crossing the Monongahela River. The present bridge is the third bridge (constructed 1881-83, widened in 1889 and 1911) at the site and remains the oldest steel bridge in the United States.

Sorry to be so late for the party. Happy T-K-W Day!!

  You've used my most favorite word to pronounce (Guess which one?). Hmm..I've heard of lenticular clouds, but never a brige ("lenticular" is NOT the word). I have to go look it up. But this is a great shot of Pittsburgh--not one I've seen before!

  Every month, with our camera in hand, we go out and find what we hope will be the “winning photo.”
Those of us that don’t get recognized, just continue to search for that special image, until one day the Congratulations come pouring in from some of the best artist and friends anyone could image.
So to the Better Photo winners for the month of September, I congratulate you on a job so well done.
My very best to all of you, Merna Nobile
