Here are a few pictures from my walk around Pittsburgh yesterday. I am just north of the main campus of both Pitt and Carnegie. One of the most striking features of this area is the Cathedral of Learning (as close as I’ve come to feeling like I’ve entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry), a 42 story structure that is the second tallest in use academic building in the world. I climbed to the 36th floor, as far as I was allowed. From the top I could look down on the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
