St. Louis Gateway Arch with full moon

St. Louis Arch with full moon

Having found myself at the St. Louis Airport Hilton again, I decided I needed a photo of the St. Louis Gateway Arch. The photo above was taken around 9pm with a full moon in the background. The arch was lit up with pinkish lights to signify solidarity with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We rode the Metrolink to get out to the arch, which is St. Louis’ version of a subway, although it only has one line.

I’m actually really glad it was night when I saw it (it was my first time seeing the arch in person). At night, the sheet metal that encases it gleamed in the light. It was very industrial looking and very cool to behold with an inky black sky behind it.

Wow, while I was snoring at the hotel exhausted from the down load of information and activity you were out seeing something really cool. I wish I had seen it. Was the area under the arch available for viewing? Last time I was there they had a really interesting exhibit on Lewis and Clark and the docent (are historical museum personel also docents?) said he was a descendant of one of them! Carol

Well, it's probably good you were catching up on your sleep, Carol. It was a busy weekend with plenty to think about and discuss.
