    Could you have picked a more misleading picture for Pittsburgh if you'd tried? Follow the link to the photographer's Flickr page, and you'll see that the title is "Pittsburgh under an unusual morning fog". The vantage point for the picture, near the intersection of Penn Ave. and 34th St., is kind of run down, explaining the appearance of the buildings in the foreground, and there's a river between there and downtown, which would account for the fog in the picture. Why not use this picture instead? http://www.panoramio.com/photo/1201423 or this? http://www.panoramio.com/photo/311608
