Thursday Arch Series

.
Arch 2011-01-08 4

I was wandering around the Arch grounds last weekend, looking for something, anything different. To my surprise, I ran into a prop. That's not common - the National Parks Service keeps the area pretty tidy. But here was this big orange traffic cone, and to no apparent purpose - no snow or ice, no repairs, just the normal pavement. So I screwed on my wide angle lens, laid down on the ground at the base of the cone, shot this and went out on a limb in Photoshop.

Today on Downtown St. Louis 365: the President of the United States.

    This is a superb photo. It is even best when viewed on a computer, as scrolling down on the screen revealed the cone gradually, like opening a surprise in a package.

    Hebrews 13:12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.

    The cone was there so people wouldn't trip over the guy lying on the ground. :-)

    The fact that you set yourself the goal to always come up to something new really brings the best out of you.
