The Gateway Office Building on 148 Eastern Boulevard in Glastonbury faces west, it always stands out at sunset, because the windows are tinted so that they reflect the light from the setting sun. I also like the lines and angles, they seem to be the bones of the building.

A lot of people may not know this, but Pittsburgh, not St. Louis is the "Gateway to the West". It all started here, with the Louis & Clark Expidition started here on the Monongahela River. Gateway Center built in 1952 is a 4 building complex and was one of the crowning jewels of Mayor Davey Lawrence's Renaissance 1 in Pittsburgh. This is the view looking West on Forbes Avevenue towards Market Square and Gateway 3.
The 630-foot Gateway Arch is clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a weighted catenary arch. It is the world's tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere and Missouri's tallest accessible building. It is located at the site of St. Louis's founding on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, it is the centerpiece of the Gateway Arch National Park. The Arch was designed by architect Eero Saarinen in 1947; construction began in February 1963 and was completed in October 1965. The monument opened to the public in June 1967.
It was time to keep moving as the day started to wind down some and still fueled on our Culver's run we made it up to Montezuma's Castle, although Montezuma was never actually there.
This whole trip though renewed that feeling of life inside of me, reminded me how much I want to continue on that road, and continue and continue and continue until I've driven down every road there is to drive down. I wish I could afford to make it happen, but every day I keep working to make that a reality.
Until then, trips like these will always be gateways to feeling reborn, even if only for a short while until the need to go again consumes me.
From my archives:
The Gateway Arch is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. It was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States. At 630 feet, it is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri's tallest accessible building and the largest architectural structure designed as a weighted or flattened catenary arch. Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River where the city of St. Louis was founded, the arch was designed by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began on February 12, 1963 and ended on October 28, 1965. The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967.

I didn't get to go up to the top of the arch. Shortly before my visit, a tram had stalled while climbing to the top of arch and some visitors were trapped for about an hour before being rescued. You can read about it here:

Not much cloud detail around on this occasion but I think the bubbles in the pool just add that little bit extra to this sunset shot of the Mersey Gateway bridge.
