High View of Downtown St. Louis
I managed to get a few cool shots of downtown St. Louis (showing the Arch in a couple) from 13 stories up. The last couple are not of downtown but I thought just looked so cool that I had to take the shot. I've been trying my hand on some editing my pictures trying to make them pop a bit more than usual.

Been to St. Louis a couple times, always enjoyed it. Cool little city for sure!
It's not bad for sure. I grew up here. Like most cities there are better places and others you may not want to venture into. Still, it's always cool to see the arch. :)

Thanks for the memory. Drove to STL from Kansas City, MO once. Stop by the cops for speedy. Luckily, wasn't me driving. Heard they were using choppers to count markers on the road. Been up the Arch.
Hehe, happy to share.
Yea, definitely gotta keep an eye out for the cops. I tend to just not speed (even though sometimes it just happens) so I don't have to worry about it. But what you heard about the helicopters is true. There are marks on the road 1/4 mile (I think) apart that they time you as you go across them. Then they have people in cars at a farther up exit ramp to actually stop you.
It's pretty sweet going up in the Arch, even though it's been a LOOOONG time since I've done that myself, but still have a vivid memory. What an awesome view! And the elevator in there always makes me think of the on in Willy Wonka. Lol.
They're finally renovating the museum underneath it, which has been desperately needed. It had been the exact same since I was a kid.
Yes, I elevator up that arch was kind for strange .
Nice photos, so where is St. Louis located ?
Thank you! St. Louis is pretty much smack-dab in the middle of the US. On the East side of Missouri, where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers come together, neighboring Illinois. (Yes, it can get quite humid here, lol)
