126/365: Wet Feet

.
Eads Bridge, Wet Feet

There are usually traffic lanes through those first two arches of Eads Bridge. The levee should be under the third and a long way off to the right of the frame.

The Mississippi is dropping here but a great surge is heading south toward Memphis and New Orleans.


Today's post on St. Louis Daily Photo plots the escape route.

28/365: How To Get To Illinois

.
West End of Eads Bridge

Eads Bridge has been featured on St. Louis Daily Photo several times. I love the architecture. Its arches remind me of a Roman aqueduct with a railroad track thrown in. Tracks, actually, since our Metrolink light rail line crosses the river on the level behind the small arches. This shot was taken from the edge of the observation platform north of the big Arch.
