This video begins at Edsall Rd. / VA 648 (Exit 2) in Fairfax County, VA and concludes at New York Ave. / US 50 in Washington DC. Along the way you’ll see the popular Shirley Highway reversible HOV lanes, the Pentagon, and the tunnels under the US Capitol. I apologize for the video quality in this video. Like the last one, there was a lot of salt still on the road due to a prior snow storm. Music: Call My Name (Max Graham & Protoculture Extended Mix) by Sultan & Ned Shepard (feat. Nadia Ali)

This video clip was taken on our way home from our Virginia fall vacation. We decided to break up the 11 hour drive and stay overnight in Pittsburgh, a city that I had wanted to see for a long time. Pittsburgh is known for its stunning location on the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers which together form the Ohio River. The downtown area is referred to as the Golden Triangle, and at its tip, right where the rivers converge, there is Point State Park. Unfortunately Point State Park was closed off due to renovations, but we got a good look at the diverse architecture in downtown Pittsburgh which represents an eccelectic mix of old and new. In total there are 151 skyscrapers in downtown Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has a really interesting history, over the last few decades it has been transforming itself from an industrial centre dominated by the steel industry to a modern city that has undergone a process of revitalization. Today’s Pittsburgh relies on an economic base that consists of education, tourism, healthcare, medicine and high technology. The diverse geography of the city provides great opportunities for outdoor recreation, and the city has more bridges than Venice – apparently 446 bridges in total. We explored a few of them in the downtown core. After our mid-afternoon exploration of downtown we decided to check out Mount Washington, a residential neighbourhood on the south side of Pittsburgh, best known for its steep hill overlooking the skyline.
