Well, you can't expect a close-up every week. It's worth looking at the monument in its urban context from time to time. This was taken during an hour-long rain delay in the Cardinals game on Monday.
Games are not suspended for rain in many ball sport except golf and tennis. Does it happen in cricket? Aficionados please report. In baseball the grounds crew quickly rolls out a tarpaulin to cover the dirt part of the infield. After it is rolled up, the field's amazing drainage system takes over with a little help from the staff.

Squoosh, squoosh, squoosh. These are terrific, Bob. They go far beyond giving us a visual experience.
I left St. Louis when the new Cardinal's stadium was still being built so this is the first time I'm "seeing" what it looks like. Thank you!
Nice pictures. I like seeing the Arch from the stadium.
An hour long rain delay. HMmmmmmmm so did that make the game last for what, 6, 8 hours??? ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Ah, rain.
I guess that one has to choose one's seat well. Facing the arch.
does it happen in cricket he asks - you're darn right it does - that's how we get so many draws.
It's subtle, but I just noticed the arch mown into the grass as well.
Well at least you got a picture for your series out of it!
