Shot of the St. Louis Riverfront and the Gateway Arch National Park from the Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park
Iconic 190-meter (623 ft) built in 1965 in St Louis, Missouri and overlooking the Mississippi River. It represents the gateway to the Western United States.
I guess I shoot a lot of these. Thanks for looking. This one features low water, the resulting exposure of the granite paving blocks, and a cloud formation reflecting winter..
The first of the granite paving blocks were layed in 1877.
After dropping my oldest daughter, Cassandra, off at the airport, the (now) smaller clan took some time out to visit a famous Saint Louis landmark: the Gateway Arch.
Pictured is my youngest daughter, Makayla, strolling beneath the metal behemoth. For the next visit, we're considering dressing Makayla as a Leprechaun.

I visited the Gateway Arch National Park on a cold morning and saw this. Thanks for looking with me.
. . . a 630-foot national monument in St. Louis, Missouri built of stainless steel, It is the world's tallest arch, and the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere. It marks the 1803 starting point of the Lewis and Clark Expedition near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
The St. Louis Gateway Arch is a 630 foot monument made with stainless steel which was completed in 1967. It was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States and all of the brave pioneers. There is a Museum of Westward Expansion below and the arch itself houses a tram to the top of the arch...not for the claustrophobic or faint of heart.
Gateway Arch image taken the day before St. Louis had about 5 consecutive days of rain and significant flooding in late December 2015. I was fortunate to get this shot because this was the last hour of sunlight on my visit to St. Louis (the rest of the days it rained).
I took this as some low, fast-moving clouds rolled through. It was my first time photographing the Arch with the new lights (in 2019). They definitely open up additional options for creative night photography!
Seen in Explore.

Excerpt from www.gravenhurst.ca/en/explore-and-play/heritage-walking-t...:
Gateway Arch: An archway has welcomed visitors from the south to Muskoka since 1874. The first arch, made from pine bows and flowers, was erected to mark the visit of Governor-General the Marquis of Dufferin. This first arch was at the intersection of Hotchkiss Street and Muskoka Road. The second arch, called "Lumbermen's Arch", welcomed train passengers to the Muskoka Wharf. It was erected in 1885 by the Mickle Dyment sawmill company. Since then thousands of tourists, initially arriving by train but the advent of the age of the automobile in the 1920's and 30's subsequently by car, have passed under one or another of the five subsequent arches to be erected in Gravenhurst. The Gateway Arch advertised Gravenhurst as the Gateway to Muskoka Lakes. The current arch at the southern end of town was erected in 2009 after the roadway was widened requiring its predecessor to be removed. It is one of a few civic archways to survive in Ontario. Wording from an earlier version has been faithfully reproduced on it. The Gateway Arch was designated a heritage structure by the Town that same year.
