Henry Shaw, who founded what was to become the Missouri Botanical Garden and adjacent Tower Grove Park, built this odd structure near his grand home. It seems to have no function other than as a watchtower - you may just be able to see the spiral staircase inside the center door. The land isn't very hilly and, of course, there were no high rises, so he and his guests could survey the entire domain.
Surrounding features were developed as the garden grew. There is now a difficult hedgerow maze just to the left.

Looks great in the dark. Glad you found your way home and not got lost in the maze.
The light gives a nice atmosphere. Also a good composition.
The lights are fantastic. I'm enjoying your photos.
That is a beautiful shot.
Looks like a neat place to explore.
