The "over my house" picture must be approaching sunset. Had to orient myself for a second. Been to Philly many times. Closest I've ever been to Pittsburgh is the PIT airport. Stopped there once on a flight from BWI to MDW at the edge of Chicago (2009). Saw some of the skyline on approach, but was on the wrong side of the plane for any pictures.
I took this photo and thought of Orison because he posts some memes about this stuff from time to time. This space is usually completely vacant and easy to walk through.
The custom house tower, the pru, and the fact that hotwater posted it are the give-aways for ID'ing the city above
Small plane from New Castle Airport, perhaps? That must be the Delaware Memorial Bridge (I-295/US 40) at the right edge.
considering we can see the pitot tube on the wing. of course its an airplane. Some my pictures come from my local pilot friends that I follow, that are taken that day or night.
Cathedral of Learning Oakland University of Pittsburgh, looking west into the left horizon would be Pittsburgh International Airport. (taken Thanksgiving day..
I've probably posted this same view a dozen times lol, I take a picture everytime I walk across this bridge
