I never get tired of the view of downtown St. Louis from the river; maybe most people live out in the red brick neighborhoods out of sight of downtown, but looking at these glass and steel skyscrapers and one of the best monuments in the world still inspires me.
Much ado recently has been made of the corrosion of the Gateway Arch, now coming up on its 50th Anniversary.
I don't know why I had never noticed it before, but blemishes are clearly visible on the legs of the Arch.
While Modernist structures are often regarded as "new," it bears reminding that many of these buildings are not new at all anymore, and will require careful conservation in the coming decades.
Something tells me Deloitte won't be buying my photo any time soon for promotional literature. I really need to take more profitable photos.
