Lights were shining throughout the region Tuesday evening as people saluted those on the front lines of the response to the covid-19 pandemic by turning on their lights at 8 p.m. for “Love from Pgh Illumination Ovation.”
People took to social media to document it all, using the hashtags #LoveFromPGH and #LoveFromPittsburgh.
The event will take place again next Tuesday, April 14.
Among those tweeting was prolific Pittsburgh photographer Dave DiCello. Here are his photos and others:
