Spectacular sight


This is one of my favorite shots from our trip to St. Louis. The way the sun hits the Gateway Arch in the early evening is spectacular. The photos from inside the Arch were fun. Being inside this marvel gave me a chance to capture parts of the city from an unusual perspective. (When we went to Toronto two summers ago, I took pictures from atop the CN Tower, but at more than 1,800 feet, it's a bit high to capture much detail.) I like this shot more than any I took from either the Arch or the CN Tower. The way the Arch towers over the trees in this shot gives me an appreciation for its impressive size, even though it's roughly a third off the height of the CN Tower.
