Pittsburgh's colors

Growing up in the Midwest, I know how gray everything can be after months of snow, dirty snow, salt-covered roads and cloudy winter skies. A clear, sunny day -- no matter the temperature -- is always welcome, if only for the blue sky and brighter landscape. It was one of those days on a recent weekend in Pittsburgh. The sky set off the vivid yellow bridges downtown, giving even more color to a city awash in black and gold.
