I went to visit some friends in St. Louis recently.  It was oddly warm for February, and seeing as though I’d never been to the arch before, we went!

The arch is very impressive in person, if you haven’t been, I highly reccommend it.

Enjoy!

When I got home from that trip, I did some reading about the arch.  From wikipedia,

During construction, both legs were built up simultaneously. When the time came to connect both legs together at the apex, thermal expansion of the sunward facing south leg prevented it from aligning precisely with the north leg. This alignment problem was solved when the St. Louis Fire Department sprayed the south leg with water from firehoses until it had cooled to the point where it aligned with the north leg.

How neat!

I was thinking about framing sets of 3 shots together and seeing if any of the contemporary hotels in St. Louis had an interest in purchasing them.  How would I go about doing that?
