Artist's Description
The Liberty Bridge stretches across the Monongahela to downtown Pittsburgh. This steel cantilever bridge with concrete pillars is 2663 feet long. it was erected from1926-28 by engineer George S. Richardson and the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.
The Liberty Tubes (Tunnels) had been opened for four years by the time the bridge was completed. With the opening of the Liberty Bridge and the resolution of the Liberty Tubes' ventilation problems, the South Hills boroughs and townships were finally given a direct auto route to and from downtown.

About Joyce Wasser
I started taking photos a long time ago as a child with a hand me down old Kodak camera that took a 125 film cartridge. At first it was simply a means to record events, places and people, but now I find excitement in trekking, usually by bicycle, through cities, small towns, rural communities, abandon industrial sites and old buildings. I absorb the sights, sounds, smells and lighting of new places and try to capture their essence and communicate something of their majesty, mystery, memory, and drama. For me photography is a way to share the excitement and beauty of the world and express my own unique view of it. It's an art and a powerful communicator.
