Photography Spots In and Around Johnstown

This is a list of some of the best photography spots in and around Johnstown, Pennsylvania! I, personally, have visited all of these places. Most of these places are easily accessible, and enjoyable to visit.

Devil's Rock

Located in Johnstown, Devil's Rock gives you a lovely view of downtown. Following the path for a short hike through the woods, you'll be lead to a graffiti covered cliff face. Though the bustling city is below you, Devil's Rock offers a very peaceful view of the city of Johnstown.

Johnstown Incline Plane

The Incline Plane offers another spectacular view of the city, from a different perspective from Devil's Rock. Being the steepest incline in the world, taking a ride is a must! Not only is this a great photography spot, but it's a great opportunity to learn some of the history of the Johnstown Flood of 1889.

The Trolley Graveyard

Located in Windber, the Trolley Graveyard is one of a kind. Tucked back in the woods, there are 14 graffiti-covered trolleys that are a photographers dream. If you decide to venture to this wonderful site, be sure to watch for broken glass and other broken objects in and around the trolleys.

The Ghost Town Trail

With multiple entrances, the Ghost Town Trail stretches 36 miles through Indiana and Cambria counties. Not only is it a beautiful trail, many parts of it have a rich history; Vintondale, Wherum, and Claghorn are all old mining towns that the trail runs through. Take a bike ride, or hike down the trail, and don't forget your camera!

Greenhouse Park

Greenhouse Park is a small park located about three miles south of downtown. With the Stony Creek River running through the heart of the park, this offers plenty of opportunities to take photographs. With large rocks covering the riverside, the scenery is absolutely beautiful.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
