The Jefferson Memorial Expansion Gateway Arch.

Impressive design and wonderful to stand next to and just gaze up at the beautiful curves in the sky.

The Gateway Arch

A couple enjoying a mid week break under the St. Louis Arch located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.

I was out of town for work the last two days and ended up bringing my camera along for good measure.

A little abstract fun with the St. Louis Arch. A beautiful mid week afternoon under the Jefferson Memorial Expansion in St. Louis, Missouri. I was looking for creative ways to capture this iconic gateway to the West. This is directly under the East end of the monument looking straight up and as tight as I could get it with the wide angle lens. It's crazy to think that even with the ultra wide angle at 10.0mm that I didn't even touch a little more than the midway point at the top. The sun's reflection is coming off the bank of glass windows on the top of the arch for people to view out of when they travel to the top.

The great thing about photography is that you can get in front of, behind, above and below your subject to provide such different perspectives. Just another moment in time.

"Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away"


Must be my pre-election day blues that's got me nervous.
