This is the same dragon as in Sunday's post, old Mr. Dinner Plates, this time illuminated at night. In the background we see the Climatron, the Missouri Botanical Garden's remarkable geodesic dome that contains four different climate zones. The beast sits in a reflecting pool, normally filled with water lilies, now given over to a man-made version. The wind died and the pool became like glass late in the evening, perfect to catch the moment when the dragon began to belch smoke.

Seen along Manchester Avenue in The Grove neighborhood. Those hungry dragons will eat anything. Why, if you left them on this lot it would probably nibble on a couple of Mini Coopers for an appetizer and then snarf down a Hummer for the main course. Be careful where you park.WHAT I NOTICED ABOUT THE REACTION TO MY POST YESTERDAY: it had the highest number of visits in quite some time (must have been that catchy thumbnail). The subject, as they say, is a hot potato.
TOMORROW: Thursday Arch Series and a new companion post on Gateway.
BY THE WAY, a commenter on yesterday's post asked for an explanation of the "God Hates Shrimp" poster in one of the photos. See the footnote added to the end of Tuesday's text for a gloss on the subject.
