Ryan Southen took a striking photo of Pittsburgh from Mt. Washington which immediately sparked a reaction in me. The photo is a view of many of the big buildings, a bridge, bright lights and the abundant character in the architectural setup of this community. The photo is quite astonishing and for some reason, I immediately thought about climate change and losing this beautiful landscape. I thought about the body of water that is awaiting a rise in sea level so that this magnificent view can be washed away. I thought about the drastic increase in CO2 emissions that are waiting for the opportunity to completely destroy this view. I can assume that when most people view this photo, they admire the beauty and essence behind it. Interestingly, I became afraid and nervous while staring at the photo. I reflected upon Manhattan and how much fun my friends and I have on 42nd street. I thought about all the other ideal landscapes that the human race has designed. If all of these great cities, which unite to give America its plentiful tone, simply disappear it would be traumatic. When I look at this picture, I begin to wish that everyone would double the efforts in saving beautiful views such as this one.
