It gets harder and harder to think of ways to present the same old monument, albeit a very big and cool one. This was shot looking almost straight up from under the south leg. It was mid-morning and the sky was cloudless. Note that this is color, not B&W. That's just how the exposure worked out.
Today marks the opening of the 2011 Major League baseball season, the only sport I follow. The St. Louis Cardinals are at home against the San Diego Padres at Busch Stadium. In general, it's better to name a big sports venue for a brand of beer than a cell phone company or a bank. Your faithful reporter will attend the pre-game rally and the game itself with polished lenses, a bright red jacket and a cry of hey beer man! on his lips. Images tomorrow.
If I didn't shoot digital you might think that today's post on Downtown St. Louis 365 was a Film Noir clip.

le point de reunion de l'arche, cela semble si fragile
Congratulations bob - I love the way you extend yourself to think of new and creative ways to present the arch! This one is fantastic!
This one is just mind boggling.
If your eyes focus a little off point, the arch begins to look like a corridor into another space. Whoa.
Good luck to the Cards. Sox open tomorrow in Texas... Thank Gawwwwd! Forecast for Boston? Snow!
Perhaps these efforts are getting old for you, Bob, but you never fail to wow us with your arch images. Never.
That is a fabulous shot. I too look forward to baseball starting here in Toronto tomorrow - we are playing the Minn Twins. Hope your guys win!
