only the clouds

When I made this photo, I was pretty sure it was about the red barricade and the bright yellow on the other parts of the street.

As ut turned out, though those are just colors accenting all the hard-edges rectangles. Only the clouds escaped.

darkness, night one

I am going to assume that every one of you recall my post from the other day when I mentioned that the night lighting at the Gateway Arch is turned off every night in September.

And maybe when you read that you wondered, “So, what does the arch look like if you’re in that bar that’s on top of the downtown Hilton?”

This. It looks quite a bit like this.

scrutiny

I felt seen.

Not in the “Yay! Someone noticed me, really NOTICED me.” way, but in the “Is there a camera inside that light?” fashion.

not the one you think

Arch. Saint Louis.

In addition to THE arch, I found these arches. Their job was to hold up a ramp into a parking garage, and as far as I could tell they were doing what they were supposed to do.

(The parking garage itself is abandoned.)
