Friday Arch supplement. This was shot through a window of of what we call the Old Cathedral, the historic (by American standards) mini-cathedral near the feet of the Arch. It's web site refers to it as the first Catholic cathedral wast of the Mississippi. The Mississippi River, which splits our country from the Gulf of Mexico to nearly the Canadian border, is an historical great divide. I find it hard to believe the Old Cathedral's claim. There were extensive Spanish Catholic missions in what is now our southwest, particularly in California, in the 17th century.This picture makes me think of the ethereal abstract beauty of the Arch. It reminds me of the graph of a function from calculus class many, many years ago. I admit that I am obsessed with the Arch. I feel lucky to live and work near such a superb, enormous work of art.

This is so beautiful and dramatic. I love window photos like these.
Wonderful photo, the arch looks amazing. I've never been lucky enough to see it, but my husband has been to St Louis a few times for work, and tells me it looks absolutely wonderful.
Oooh I absolutely love this photo! Superb! I absolutely love how, in some of the panes, you can see the true viscous nature of glass.
