174/365: Happiness Is A Warm Gun

.

John Lennon said so, so it must be true. When was the last time you looked down the barrel of a tank? (I hope for all our sakes that this is a purely rhetorical question.) You can do it this week in Ballpark Village, next to Busch Stadium, the local baseball venue. This theme will continue here and on St. Louis Daily Photo with an explanation on Saturday.

Speaking of which, the Arch's metal is a point of emphasis on St. Louis Daily Photo.

.

There is a big public event going on downtown this week. This is just a preview. More on St Louis Daily Photo late this week and into the weekend.

Look back at last Friday's post - this is where the sign would point you. That's the edge of the north leg of the Arch at the top. No entry.

St. Louis Daily Photo is still way out on the prairie.

Most cities have a blend of old and new buildings with a variety of styles. This shot was taken from underneath the Arch looking west into downtown. From right t o left, we have the zippy International Style of the AT&T Building, the Neoclassic Old Courthouse and the who-the-heck-knows Civil Courts Building.

You can know the position of something very accurately, you can know the momentum of something very accurately, but you cant know both at the same time. Shot under the Arch, by the Mississippi.

169/365: Slow Business

.

There have been a couple of posts here and on St. Louis Daily Photo about the horse-drawn carriages that prowl downtown, looking for visitors. This one is parked on the street by the river (barely above water for the moment) directly under the Arch. No takers.

168/365: Lies And Misinformation

.

Most visitors enter the Arch by the entrance at the north leg. It's closest to the garage. But last weekend there were signs all over the place directing people to the south leg. Problem is, that side is closed for construction work (we'll have a picture sometime soon). So, uh, who's in charge here?
