15 May 2024
Last week the sky above Pittsburgh was spectacular over and over again.
- Stunning storms on May 8
- Beautiful sunrise on the 9th
- Northern lights on the 10th
- Double rainbow on the 11th.
No storm photos from me (!incredibly close lightning) but I photographed sunrise on the 8th.
Alas I missed the northern lights on Friday.
But was treated to the double rainbow on Saturday (with raindrops on the window).
Photographer Dave DiCello takes dramatic photos of Pittsburgh every day from the West End overlook and captured every one of these spectacular sky events.
For more sky photos see:
- CBS News: Photos of the northern lights plus their video report.
- Dave DiCello lightning images on May 8.
- Dave DiCello northern lights over Downtown Pittsburgh and from Schenley golf course on May 11.
This week is sunny or cloudy but nothing remarkable.
The sky is taking a break after a busy week.

What are those big wings in the nest box from? Gulls?
Kurt, yes they are gull wings. Bob Mulvihill remarked on them on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/robert.s.mulvihill/posts/pfbid0C1UKbidF7hk1XnjBy8esgBwqWUx23g6fimVPhae5ZZgiGTRP2NvNPyzVXwjmEhbfl
The double rainbow was so intense here, I forgot to grab my camera for almost a full minute.
