A Gift From Pittsburgh

A blue sky and green grass are not all that common in southwestern Pennsylvania.
And it snowed last night.
Sorry, no story, no leading lines and no rule of thirds. Just a colorful picture - a place in time.

It really is amazing, but I live so close that I have become jaded.

An interesting building, but what's that strange color to the grass? We have only a faded brown variety around here...

It is a perennial that came out a few years ago for the southwest. It goes with adobe construction. Green houses in that part of the country are called LightRooms and the grass is called Photoshopped - it is activated by a cloud.
In Pittsburgh, the color stays year round because of something called permafrost. Once again, it is activated by heavy cloud coverage.
Not so strange after all.

Over time the photos get better. It can be a tough place to shoot with the contrasting light.
