I’ve been through, by and over St. Louis. I’ve seen the Gateway Arch from afar, and was impressed. But I’ve never seen it up close until yesterday afternoon. And now I am really impressed. It is a stunning g piece of engineering art, a thorough testament to human aspiration and spirit. The National Park is also a beautiful place, well-kept and enjoyed by a lot of people, but not crowded. Just down the street from the famous St. Louis Courthouse, currently being Reno aged but still lovely. I’ll post more images soon, possible a gallery series.
