KAYAK PITTSBURGH | City Tribute | Rivers

Music: Rivers by six60 Several years ago one of my best friends from Pittsburgh moved to Wellington, New Zealand. Upon visiting him a few years later, I quickly realized the parallels between his hometown and his new city. All sports teams are black and yellow across the board, both cities have an incline, both cities are on water, both cities are known for their inclement weather, and while they enjoy pies filled with comfort food, we enjoy pierogies stuffed with comfort food. While visiting we were waiting for the ferry back to the North Island in a park and there was a young couple on a picnic listening to music... I heard a song I had to know. I didn't want to bother them, so I didn't ask. Luckily my friend was able to guess the band and I tracked down the song featured in this video - Rivers, by New Zealand band six60. I couldn't help but think of Pittsburgh and what I love about it when listening to it. (They have since become one of my favorite bands.) The footage in this video was captured over the last 4 years, grabbing drone footage on my bike commute, from home on particularly stellar evenings, and regular evening/early morning weekend kayaking excursions. I hope you enjoy sights and the song, and if you've never been you'll be inspired to visit this great city when you have a chance. #Pittsburgh #Rivers #six60
