#Monongahela River

Even as forces natural or otherwise consume every last trace of our ancestors' time on earth, and we barely notice, the daffodils remember, relentlessly and passionately, and commemorate in massed reflection the ground where human claims fell to dust and ashes.

A derelict homestead on the Mon River Trail, honored lately by daffodils and moss.

Homestead Steel Works, Homestead, Pa. Ca. 1900-1910. 

Homestead Steel Works was a large steel works located on the Monongahela River at Homestead, Pennsylvania in the United States. The company developed in the nineteenth century as an extensive plant served by tributary coal and iron fields, a railway 425 miles (684 km) long, and a line of lake steamships. The works was also the site of one of the more serious labor disputes in U.S. history, which became known as the Homestead strike of 1892.

The steel works were first constructed in 1881. Andrew Carnegie, (a Scottish emigrant), bought the 2 year old Homestead Steel Works in 1883, and integrated it into his Carnegie Steel Company. For many years, the Homestead Works was the largest steel mill in the world and the most productive of the Mon Valley's many mills.

A series of industrial disputes over wages, working hours and contracts occurred in the early years of the works, leading to the Homestead strike, an industrial lockout and strike which began on June 30, 1892, culminating in a battle between strikers and private security agents on July 6, 1892. The battle was one of the most violent disputes in U.S. labor history and the final result was a major defeat for the union and a setback for their efforts to unionize steelworkers.

Squaring up

Wednesday – photo by Mitch Waxman Another of my constitutional scuttles occurred on one of the rare sunny days which the Pittsburgh Metro area has enjoyed in recent weeks, a scuttle which played out along the Monongahela River. The Mobile Oppression Platform was parked in an adjoining municipal park’s lot, and so off I went. First steps were when I noticed the Towboat ‘Sierra J’ towing a small…

Early March on the Mon River Trail.

Sunday was a gorgeous day for a bike ride, balmy and softly lit by the late Winter sun. The smooth alder (Alnus serrulata) is in bloom along the river - the catkins are incredibly beautiful to me. More whimsical are the pointy-capped flowers of the eastern skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), which emerge from the muddy margins of local swamps in mid-February. At mile marker 17 (last photo from the bottom), I spotted my first bald eagle of the season - a mature, solitary bird who got away before I could get my camera positioned. I'll try again next weekend.

GOALS

Since I was a little girl I always wanted to visit El Yunque. El Yunque is a tropical forest located in Puerto Rico. You can find many species like the Puerto Rican parrot, el coquí, and even pieces of our history. I never had the chance to visit El Yunque and I don't live anymore in my Isla del encanto, but one day I am coming back to discover all the things I wasn't able before.

But El Yunque was the inspiration for this goal of being in a forest. And I did what I do with all my goals, accomplish them. I took this photo in the Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia. Near the Monongahela National Forest. A perfect spot for those who like remote places. My emotions took over me, realizing it was the first time I was in a forest. While I was driving, I could see baby deers what reminded me of the bambi movie.

After five hours of driving, I wasn't tired enough to start hiking this amazing place. It was also, my first experience camping and my first waterfall photo in slow speed. This photo represents many first things done in that day.

Downtown Pittsburgh from the "hot metal" bridge over the Monongahela River. The bridge is now part of the Pittsburgh heritage bike trail. In the past, the Hot Metal Bridge connected parts of the J&L Steel mill, carrying crucibles of molten iron from the blast furnaces in ladle transfer cars to the open hearth furnaces on the opposite bank.
