The New View

2013-10-31 View From New Office 1

Had to go by the new office yesterday for a meeting about carpeting, where to put certain walls and that sort of exciting stuff. Since I was complaining yesterday about the view I'm losing, I thought I'd take some phone cam snaps of my new one.

It's north of the Arch, in a northeast corner. After on-and-off rain all day, we were rewarded with a gorgeous rainbow to the north. The elevated highway in the foreground is I 70. The domed football stadium is to the left, the new bridge across the Mississippi in the center and the luxury Four Seasons Hotel on the right.

The bottom view will be behind my desk to the east, facing the Mississippi, Eads Bridge and Illinois. The brilliant trees are in the north end of the Arch's park. I don't know what kind they are - Mrs. C, the family horticulturalist could tell you - but they have some kind of disease and will be replaced with a different species.
