Hmm. What kind of animal would you associate with St. Louis? A baseball cardinal or football ram? Perhaps the pigeons in Kiener Plaza or a weasel sucking up real estate redevelopment tax credits.
For us locals the choice is clear: the Anheuser-Busch team of huge Clydesdale horses pulling an old-fasioned Budweiser beer wagon. They have been around for many decades and appear at all sorts of public events. And they're always accompanied by a dalmatian sitting by the wagon drivers. What's more, they seem to have a broad sense of humor and enjoy a good horse laugh.
The first three pictures could have been exposed better. Wicked backlight.

Magnificent horses. Love that first shot. Interesting they have a dalmation as they used to run behind the wheels of the carriages. That's what they were bred for.
ReplyDeleteune belle histoire d'amour commence, bien vu la première photo.
ReplyDeleteEt en effet : GO GIANTS
Shire horses are my favourites, these are soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh these Clydesdale's are magnificent Bob, what a wonderful moment you've captured in the top picture, love the Dalmatian sitting there so proudly! Great set of images.
ReplyDeleteYes backlight isn't easy to manage but your photos were worth posting anyway. The top one is great fun!
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I loved horses and especially Clydesdales. The two in the first photo look like they've just shared a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo made me smile. :)
