RETURN OF THE THURSDAY ARCH SERIES

Half an Arch is better than none. After a score of years photographing this wicket it's hard to come up with something new.

Mrs. C has an annual conference she enjoys about the work she does. This year it was at STL's largest hotel right in front of the Arch, which has as many windows as possible facing the monument. She stayed there for the meeting rather than commute in every day. I spent Sunday night there with her, if for no other reason than to see what there was to shoot. The circular plaza at the bottom is the new underground entrance to the museum and funiculars that can take you to the top. Barges slide through the Mississippi and the sky looks like weather blowing in.
