St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

Busch Stadium, also referred to informally as "New Busch Stadium" or "Busch Stadium III", is a baseball stadium located in St. Louis, Missouri, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. The stadium has a seating capacity of 44,494, and contains 3,706 club seats and 61 luxury suites. It replaced Busch Memorial Stadium (aka Busch Stadium II) and occupies a portion of that stadium's former footprint. A commercial area, dubbed Ballpark Village, was built adjacent to the stadium over the remainder of the former stadium's footprint.
The stadium opened on April 4, 2006 with an exhibition between the minor league Memphis Redbirds and Springfield Cardinals, both affiliates of the St. Louis Cardinals, which Springfield won 5–3 with right-hander Mike Parisi recording the first win. The first official major league game occurred on April 10, 2006 as the Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6–4 behind an Albert Pujols home run and winning pitcher Mark Mulder.
In 2004, then Anheuser-Busch president August Busch IV announced the brewing-giant purchased the 20-year naming rights for the stadium. Team owner William Dewitt Jr., said: "From the day we began planning for the new ballpark, we wanted to keep the name ‘Busch Stadium.' August Busch IV and Anheuser-Busch share our vision for continuing that tradition for our great fans and the entire St. Louis community."
It is the third stadium in St. Louis to carry the name Busch Stadium. Sportsman's Park was renamed Busch Stadium in 1953. Team owner August Busch Jr. had planned to name it Budweiser Stadium, but league rules prohibited naming a venue after an alcoholic beverage. Busch named the stadium after himself & his Anheuser-Busch later introduced the "Busch Beer". The first Busch Stadium closed in 1966 and both the baseball Cardinals, and the National Football League (NFL)'s team of the same name (now the Arizona Cardinals) moved to a new multi-purpose stadium, named Busch Memorial Stadium (Busch Stadium II).
Still one of my all time favourite aerial locations. It was so good to get back and shoot it again.

Panorama of Kauffman Stadium in color. (by request!). The color does have quite a bit of punch over the black/white version.
Dodger stadium, Los Angeles
This was a hard composition to do because I wanted to see the stadium and downtown in the same time. At night it actually looked way nicer because of the city lights! Do you like to take night photos?
Wembley Stadium. I was approached by Security, and told that they don't want people photographing the arch - I made like an arch, showed them my arse, and took the photo anyway. Consequently, it had to be flipped vertically in PS to set it right way up.
Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA
I always want to take a decent shot of Levi's stadium, especially prior to Super Bowl 50 event. It's a late Saturday afternoon. Clouds start adjusting the shape by itself and fan out nicely from top of the stadium just before the day ends.

美式足球超級盃是美國體育界年度的最大盛事，今年的超級盃在灣區舉行，地主49人隊(49ers)戰績不佳，連季後賽都打不進去。對決的兩隊是丹佛野馬(Denver Broncos) 和卡羅萊納黑豹(Carolina Panthers)。
一直希望能在賽前拍一張像樣一點的Levi's 球場照片。一個月前曾經去球場練習拍照，結果有兩個警衛突然出現，他們為了安全顧慮請我離開。幾天之後的週六下午，感覺天有異象，便直奔球場等待機會。這次學乖了，在球場對街架設腳架，因為在管轄範圍之外，果然沒有警衛來找麻煩。而在天黑之前，雲層也開始自己調整形狀，最後呈放射狀自球場上方散出。
入境隨俗，這是一場全世界矚目的超級大賽，自己雖然不是美式足球迷，但是對這場比賽也是極度關注，可能會邀三五好友一起觀賞，為較弱的那隊加油。

Those reflection on the water come from our Singapore Indoor Stadium.
