Lately, I have not had nearly as much time to post on this site as I would like. I hope to be able to write more in the upcoming months, but in the meantime, I thought I would share some photographs from around the City of St. Louis. I bought a DSLR camera last month and have been spending a lot of time taking pictures around town (part of the reason I haven't written as much lately).
While I intend for this site to continue to be more of a written blog than a photoblog, the main point of the site is to spread a positive image of the City of St. Louis--and what better way to do that than to share some scenes from our beautiful city. You know what they say pictures are worth . . . so, until I can get back to actual writing, here are 12,000 words.
(Apologies to my
Twitter and/or
Flickr followers, who likely have seen some or all of these before).

Incredible! Arch waiting for Train is just delightful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt--I appreciate it very much!
ReplyDeleteThe structure you photographed in forest park is the Nathan Frank bandstand. It replaced the original bandstand pagoda in 1924.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteSome really, really nice pics...Do you work for a postcard co? lol
ReplyDeleteI too like the "Waiting on the train" and both shots from Citygarden with 1010 Pine building and Civil Courts bldgs are really nice. The fall leaves are what make these really nice IMO.
Thanks RobbyD! No, I'm not a postcard maker, but I do play one on TV.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I called that one "Waiting on a Train" because I really was waiting for a train to come through that tunnel FOREVER. That's the shot that I really wanted to get, but one never showed up before I had to leave.
Ben, I almost like the anticipation shot better than if a train had shown up...
ReplyDeleteI think I do too. Funny how that works out.
