Tough Act To Follow

Eads Bridge 2013-05-25 3

Well, lots of people liked the blues harmonica player yesterday. Thanks for all the comments. It's rare that I break into double digits. What  to do for follow up?

I've been cruising old parts of the city near the river, looking for material for the June 1 Beauty of Decay theme day. Plenty of material. At one point I was walking along the promenade at the north end of the Arch park, right beside beautiful old Eads Bridge. Decidedly not decayed, as a lot of money has been spent to restore and preserve it. If fact, you can see scaffolding under it for maintenance work in the first and second pix.

Our MetroLink light rail zips along the lower of the level of the bridge at the bottom. I don't think you're supposed to drink on board.

pour continuer a avoir des commentaires, il faut mettre des photos des Chearleader des Cardinals ;))
Surprenant de voir de la publicité sur les trains (ou metros) ?

Bridges always make for a great subject!

Also very pretty pictures to look at. Detailed yet not overfilled. A delight for the eye.

The three you chose today all have a modern art feeling.
