And now for something completely different. The helicopter that carried Ellie and me is about even with the top of the Arch. Color and tone could be better but the scene is heavily backlit. We rarely get to see the shadow of the monument in a recognizable form but it looks like you could pick up two handles, peeling back the ground. (What's under downtown St. Louis? Do we really want to know?)
This was the third time in my 70 years I've been in a helicopter. It is mildly scary but a lot of fun.
Beautiful shot. Only possible with helicopter.
ReplyDeleteGoing up was worth the shot, but if I had been there, you'd have also gotten a version of Munch's The Scream.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot!
