ST. LOUIS — The city where I’m writing this is famous for steamboats along the Mississippi, but the city where I live is probably better known for having provided the steel to build … well, half the planet at one point. And that includes warships.
Now through Tuesday, there’s an LST World War II transport ship docked near Heinz Field. Well worth your time … and a few snaps from our Dave DiCello:.

In the calendar business, it’s always next year. Because hey, who wants to buy a 2015 calender once the year’s already begun?
Our Dave DiCello is already delivering his 2016 Pittsburgh calendar, for example, and he’s shared with us a few shots for this week’s gallery.

NEW YORK — For this week’s gallery, befitting my own setting at the time this is written, we’ll quote the New York Times’ legendary line about Pittsburgh that it’s the world’s ‘only city with an entrance.’
Sometimes it takes an outsider to appreciate what you’ve got.

Happy Monday!
The camera of our Dave DiCello knows no fear, least of all some silly storm like the one that assaulted our city — the poor BNY Mellon skyscraper, in particular — last week. No, our man saw this is as opportunity.
Here’s this week’s gallery. As always, click or tap the image to enlarge.

Good morning, and happy Monday!
The camera of our Dave DiCello gets around by plane, copter and even drone to take some of his trademark shots of our city. Here’s a handful of recent ones he selected for this week’s gallery and, as always, click or tap the image to enlarge.

LATROBE, Pa. — While new beat man Neal Coolong and I lounged in the shade at the Steelers’ first practice Sunday — OK, we got around a little — our photographer Dave DiCello was pretty much sprinting sideline to sideline, snapping away all day. And when he finally was done, he decided he’d dramatically whittle down all his work for me to peruse.
So the man sent me 238 pictures, with one tiny bit of guidance: “I just love the one where Antonio Brown is pointing right at me!”
You want to talk about a tough assignment?
I used one of these pics for Coolong’s coverage, three for my column and nine to run with this weekly gallery. Which should tell you an agonizing 225 were left on the cutting-room floor. Or, ideally, for future use in other features we’ll do.
Anyway, here’s hoping you enjoy those that made it as much as I did.

Dave DiCello found himself in quite the pickle this weekend, photographing Picklesburgh on the Rachel Carson Bridge while also trying to get a good dill on a fresh jar.
Sorry.

The only thing brighter in Pittsburgh than Heinz Field's seats are fireworks on the Fourth. -- DAVE DiCELLO

When Dave DiCello sets up to cover Fourth of July fireworks, he never has to worry about missing a shot. Our next fireworks display is never more than a day away around here.

Hey, you’ll never guess where Dave DiCello spent his Father’s Day. Yeah, there. And taking one of his patented panoramas, to boot, this a 360-degree snap of our world-class Point.

Over the weekend, A.J. Burnett asked me if anyone had taken any quality shots of the Downtown skyline last Thursday when his return to the mound was greeted by laser-powered Bat-signals, courtesy of Mayor Bill Peduto.
