If you look at the Arch from the side, the very top has the most gentle of curves. You notice the slope when you are in the observation deck inside the top but it's no big deal. Then, as you move down the leg, things go downhill in a hurry, to borrow an expression. When you stand at the foot, you see a horizon part way up, like the way the earth drops away on the ocean.Thursday, July 23, 2009

une piste d'envol, belle perspective
For someone who doesn't live in St. Louis, I've spent a lot of time looking at the arch. But your photos always show me something new. Thanks Bob.
Beautiful skies & beautiful photo, as well.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog - It's nice to meet someone so close to home.
Have a wonderful weekend
Very Nice Blog.
