It's about curved surfaces in three dimension, their edges and their position in space. Plus it looks kind of cool.

Can't get much more straightforward than this. Shot from the top of the steps at the Old Court House, which provides an unobstructed view.

Do you see anything besides the Arch and a lamp pole in this image? I can think of a few possibilities. Tell us your deepest thoughts, anonymously if they are too sensitive. Then we will adjourn for group therapy.

Curves Of Different Density

Straight Up

Looking straight at the north leg on a brilliant summer day. This was shot from Eads Bridge, the oldest bridge over the central Mississippi River.

Welcome To Gateway

I have been publishing a St. Louis Daily Photo Blog since March 2007. Since it began, there has been a photo of St. Louis' Gateway Arch almost every Thursday, more that 70 by now. Sometimes I get discouraged, perhaps even burned out, with the subject. What else is there to say about it? However, my friend PJ of Pensacola Daily Photo suggested I start a blog just for Arch pictures. A brilliant idea, and here it is. Please tell me what you think.

There will not be daily posts but over the months to come you will see many images of my city's great monument. Visit again from time to time.

Here it is: the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, standing on a bluff over the Mississippi River, linking the water, land and sky. Many more of these pictures to come.
