St Louis Missouri - the mid-Mississippi

















In Saint Paul the Mississippi is roaring over the banks. Down river it is quietly flowing in anticipation of the surge coming this direction.
The Arch is more than you could ever expect it to be - WOW! A shrine built for the sake of a shrine...but then aren't they all.
It has been years since I was last in St Louis. It reminds me of my first visit back to Philadelphia after many many years - a wonderful surprise and a place I want to be around and spend time enjoying.
It was also opening day for the baseball team so the fountains were flowing red and there was activity and people throughout the downtown area.
